Planning a party is no easy feat. You have to think about the theme of the event, the guest list, activities, and the meals. Of course, a party wouldn’t be complete without drinks. Why not celebrate Memorial Day and other upcoming holidays by inviting your friends over for a fun margarita party?
All you need is to tell them you're hosting it in your home. One problem you may face is that someone will need to make all those frozen drinks. Instead of mingling with the guests and having a good time, someone might end up stuck behind the bar.
Luckily, renting a frozen margarita machine can solve your problem. A frozen margarita machine will automate the process, leaving nobody feeling left out at the party. To host a successful margarita party, here are some tips you can apply:
Tip #1: Prepare all the essentials
Hosting a margarita party is an exciting thing. You want to impress your guests while also reducing the amount of stress preparing it. That’s why you must prepare all of the things you need before sending out invitations.
First on your list must be the frozen margarita machine, which you can buy or rent. Pitchers are also essential to accommodate large batches of margaritas. Although the margarita machine has its own pitchers, it's best to have an extra one.
Prepare the jiggers, too, because it helps you accurately measure liquor. Make sure to have plenty of ice in an ice chest so you don’t run out during the party. Don’t forget the cocktail shakers on hand to blend and chill ingredients. Lastly, buy some rim dippers and a hand juicer.
Tip #2: Set up the event
Once you can prepare all the materials, it’s time to set up your party. Start by creating a help set the mood. You can try alternating back and forth from more relaxing songs to party music. Since you will be offering meals, you need to prepare cocktail plates and napkins. Paper plates and plasticware are acceptable for a margarita party.
As for the meals you will be serving, you can try light and fresh dishes paired with a fruity flavor margarita. Place a bowl of tortilla chips and salsa around the room. Fish tacos are also a good option. For warmer dishes, you can try taquitos or quarter-sliced quesadillas. Avoid dishes such as chile and enchiladas.
Tip #3: Prepare the frozen margarita bar
Don’t forget to set up your frozen margarita machine. It is an important machine in your party. Put it in the center of the drinking station and place it at the front edge of the bar, so guests can easily help themselves with a drink. Add a dark tablecloth underneath the dispenser nozzle to catch drips and avoid leaks on the floor.
Place the glassware at the right of the machine and the liquor station on the left of the machine. Add a water and non-alcoholic drink station a few feet from the margarita drinking station. The recipes and drink machine instructions must be placed on 4 x 6 cards.
Conclusion
Hosting a margarita party doesn’t have to be boring on your part since you are the best option for manning the bar. Rent a frozen margarita machine, so you can enjoy mingling with guests and allow them the opportunity to mix their own drinks—no more bartending duties and nobody feeling left out.
