$500 Reward For Stolen Margarita Machine

Posted on March 25, 2011 by rockinritas

Today….Friday, March 25 at around 5pm some men in a black SUV, possibly a Ford Explorer, stole a very expensive frozen drink machine from an apartment complex pool party on E River Ridge Pkwy in San Marcos. The machine looks very similar to the machine in this picture and has a Rockin Ritas sign on the top. It is a Grindmaster/Wilch/ Crathco Model 3311

We are offering a $500 reward for information that leads to the safe return of the machine. If you are responsible for sending this information to somebody that gets the reward, we will give you a $100 reward as well. Please send this notice to all of your friends.

Sweet and Spicy Banana Margarita Recipe

Posted on March 24, 2011 by rockinritas

Enjoy this delicious and unique Banana margarita recipe compliments of recipestap.com…

This banana margarita is made with smashed ripe bananas, though an ounce of banana puree or creme de banana liqueur would also work. The tart lemon and citric Grand Marnier balance the bananas’ sweetness making it pleasingly refreshing with a smooth finish. If you’re considering skipping the cayenne rim on the glass, don’t. When you sip the margarita the cayenne makes your tongue and mouth tingle with heat which is then cooled with the icy margarita. Ahhhh, it’s delicious!.

SXSW 2011

Posted on March 20, 2011 by rockinritas

After consuming the city of Austin for two weeks, South By Southwest 2011 has finally come to an end. I was able to make it to a couple shows this year, most recently Panic At The Disco and The Bravery at Stubbs Austin. This was my first SXSW and I have to say the reality lived up to the hype. The city of Austin was one big party for two weeks straight. I am looking forward to next years SXSW already.

Top 10 Homemade Margarita Machines

Posted on March 15, 2011 by rockinritas

As the margarita season begins, a look at some rather ingenious homemade margarita machines. Before you set off to make your own machine, remember renting a margarita machine from RockinRitas.com is a lot easier….and safer.

We don’t know how safe it is, but it is an ingenius use of a cooler, garbage disposal and some plastic piping.

This guy didn’t bother building a box on the bottom of his creation. Just stuck a cooler on top of a garbage disposal.

The Machine
Why bother with a garbage disposal motor. This guy made his with a 26cc weedwacker motor. Comes complete with handlebars and a throttle.

Now we’re talkin! This guy spared no expense. We don’t know how it works, but it looks great.
4.
This one isn’t homemade but it’s too cool to leave out. The Super Slusher can make 5 gallons of margarita in a matter of seconds. You can buy one here www.swirled-ice.com/margarita-machine-other/superslusher.htm

This one dispenses everything separately or all mixed together. Recently seen at a Jimmy Buffet concert.

This is by far the most extreme margarita machine we’ve ever seen. Powered by a small block 400, it’s made for the hardcore margarita lover that loves camping….with lots of other people.

The granddaddy of them all. The worlds first frozen margarita machine. Built by Mariano Martinez in 1971. This is the forerunner of today’s commercial margarita machine. This machine currently sits in the Smithsonian.

What To Expect When You Rent A Margarita Machine

Posted on March 7, 2011 by rockinritas

So you’re having a party and you’ve never rented a margarita machine from RockinRitas.com before. How does the process work?

Austin Margarita machine

Company party aftermath

When you rent a margarita machine from Rockin’ Ritas we will deliver your margarita machine at a convenient time within a few hours of the start of your event. Your order includes a commercial-grade margarita machine (on a cart if needed), the flavor mix of your choice. Cups, straws and salt for Margaritas. We will set up your machine and show you how to use it. You provide all alcohol, but our delivery person will show you how to mix your first batch. We will also discuss with you a convenient time to pick up the machine the following day.

When you place your margarita machine order from Rockin’ Ritas, make sure to let us know if there are any stairs or obstacles in the path to the set-up area. Also, be sure to discuss any special requirements such as same day pick-up or long extension cord. We will need to know which flavor you prefer and how many batches of mix you will need. Each batch makes approximately 60-70 nine ounce drinks. As a general rule of thumb, each partygoer that drinks margaritas is going to average 3 drinks. If you multiply the number of margarita drinkers at your party by 3, you will have an idea of the number of servings you will need.

When you are finished with the machine just turn it off, no need to clean it as we clean every machine after each use. One of our drivers will be by the following day to pick up your margarita machine. It’s as simple as that!

Visit Rockinritas.com today to order a margarita machine for your next event!
