Frequently Asked Questions

Does "Party In A Cup" supply the alcohol?

We do not supply any liquor or alcoholic beverages. However, we will have everything set up for you so that all you'll need to do is pour in your choice of liquor to our mix. 3-3.5 liters of tequila/rum for each batch should be plenty.

How do I reserve and pay for a machine rental?

We request that reservations be paid in advance. We have machines available even for short notice engagements, however they are on a first come first serve rental basis and may all be reserved for other guests especially during a holiday or the high tourist season.

We accept all credit cards online through PayeezySM Gateway Solution.

Do I need ice?

No ice is needed as the machine freezes the mix for you.  All you need is water, Party In A Cup mix, and alcohol (if you choose).

How long does it take for the mix to freeze from startup?

It normally take 1 to 2 hours to start enjoying your drinks.

Do I have to set up the machine or clean after use?

No, we do all the work for you. We will set it up and give you instructions on how to enjoy your frozen drink machine.

How many drinks will my machine serve?

For each single mix you can approximately get 60 - 9oz. cups

Can the mix stay in the machine overnight?

Yes, if you do not finish a mix in one day, leave it in the machine and you can use it the next day.  The mix does not require refrigeration however the machine needs to remain sealed with the top securely in place for cleanliness reasons.  But you'll need to turn off your machine at night, when not in use.

How can I make it “kid friendly” and still enjoy mixed frozen drinks?

All of the mixes are supplied without alcohol and can be served virgin, (no alcohol).  Adults can add alcohol to their virgin cocktail. This allows the kids to enjoy slushies while the adults enjoy their mixed frozen drinks. 

Do I need to let the keep the machine running all the time?  

This is a commercial machine designed for long run times. Turning the machine on and off is not required but you may want to shut it off when not in use. It has a consistency sensor that turns the freezer on and off to maintain the proper consistency. Please DO turn the machine off before going to bed at night or once your event is over. 

Can I move the machine to another location?

The machine is on a roller cart and can be relocated with in the same premises however it MUST remain at the address that it was delivered too.  If you choose to move the machine to a different location in the house, you do so at your own risk. The machine weighs approximately 175 lbs. and is extremely top heavy. It may turn over easily when moved if the wheels catch, turn or dig in. If it is moved outside into the elements, any damage incurred, or loss will also be your responsibility. Machines cost in excess of $3,000 to $6,000 so it is recommended you do not move them around.
