Through our experience we have learned a few secrets about getting the best performance out of your Frozen Drink Machine.

How to deal with really HOT days:

If you follow these very simple tips, you will increase the efficiency of the machine...

If possible, use the machine in an air conditioned area. This will insure it is always freezing to maximum efficiency. If you insist on it being outside? Make sure it is in a shady area. When the temperature outside gets over 90 degrees the machines have to work extra hard.
Before we arrive, go to your local grocery store and purchase 3.5 gallons of water (or put tap water in jugs at home).
Put the water in the fridge...make sure it is ICE COLD when we get there.
Also, put your alcohol in the FREEZER or Refrigerator.
The basic concept is the colder your ingredients, the faster the freeze time.
When we leave, fill the jugs back up and put them back in the fridge so you will be ready for round two!

"What else do you need to know?"
We must be notified at the time of booking if there are any steps or stairs that may complicate the delivery.

"What if I have any more questions?"
If you have any questions that may arise during your party, just give us a call.

Keep Texas streets safe. Don't drink and drive...
