For restaurant and bar owners in search of a durable and reliable automatic margarita machine, we recommend this commercial-grade option.

This margarita machine will keep the drinks flowing all day. It holds a combined 6 gallons of liquid — that's enough to dish out 66 12-ounce drinks. If that's too big for your taste, opt for this three-bowl margarita maker instead.

It takes just 30 minutes to concoct delicious frozen drinks. The machine sports a premium construction with stainless steel panels. It measures 30 inches tall, 15 inches wide, and weighs 176 pounds, so make sure you have the space for it!

It's also worth mentioning that it plugs into an industrial 120-volt locking power outlet, so you may need an adapter before plugging it in.

• Motor Power: 650 Watts

This margarita machine does it all. Whether you want to whip up margaritas, piña coladas, daiquiris, or fresh smoothies, it’ll get the job done. What makes it stand out from other machines is that it shaves the ice before blending your drink, so you get a smooth beverage that isn’t loaded with chunky ice bits.

We appreciate its premium build quality, large pitcher, and metal components. The Bali holds 60 ounces of ice (twice as much as Margaritaville's Key West and Bahamas machines). A full ice reservoir can make a total of six pitchers of drinks, each pitcher provides six 8-ounce drinks, but there’s also a setting to make a half-pitcher if you only want to serve three people.

The margarita machine offers four pre-programmed drink settings, but our favorite feature is that when you push down on the dispensing lever, the blender will swirl its contents around, so your drink is perfectly mixed. With this margarita machine, you get a restaurant-quality, Instagram-worthy marg every time!

Don't let its small size fool you. This Ninja blender sure makes a mean margarita. And while the Ninja QB900B wasn't explicitly designed to whip up margaritas, it includes a 48-ounce pitcher that makes it easy to dish out your favorite drinks or smoothies. It can also chop, dice, or slice food with its included 16-ounce bowl.

This all-in-one machine is easy to use and it successfully chops ice and fruit uniformly better than many other brands out there.

So, if you want a versatile appliance that's easy to stow and does more than making margs, it's an affordable and powerful option that's definitely worth considering.

For folks who entertain often and are in search of a high-capacity margarita machine that keeps frozen margaritas perfectly chilled, look no further!

This option can hold 100 cups of frozen margaritas, and it's also backed by a 2-year warranty. Features include an air-cooled compressor, an auger for mixing, consistency control, and stainless steel panels that wipe clean.

The manufacturer also sells a variant with a single bowl, which holds either 25 or 50 cups of frozen drinks.

Looking to elevate your next backyard hang? This mammoth margarita machine can concoct three separate 24-ounce pitchers of your favorite frozen drinks. Sitting at 20 inches tall and wide, this machine's pre-programmed blending settings have something for everyone. Your guests can choose from margaritas, daiquiris, piña coladas, mudslides, mojitos, and smoothies, and best of all, you can blend up to three drinks at once.

Plus, you can easily thicken or thin your drink with just a push of a button. Even better, the melted ice is channeled into a rear reservoir to avoid watered-down drinks. Most of the Tahiti's components are dishwasher-safe, so cleanup is a breeze.

Besides its high price, our only complaint is that it's quite loud and difficult to store, but that's to be expected with a machine this large.

If the Margaritaville Bali machine we previously mentioned is out of your budget, this other model is a much more affordable alternative. This Bahamas blender has a smaller 36-ounce ice reservoir, which makes roughly 2.5 pitchers worth of drinks. It lacks the nozzle for dispensing your drinks, but it is nearly twice as inexpensive as the Bali model.

Samantha Gordon, the managing editor at Reviewed, said that this blender is an absolute all-star at making delicious frozen cocktails. She said the margarita machine churns the ice and shaves it into an almost snow cone-like consistency.

The kit includes a 36-ounce plastic shatterproof pitcher which lets you easily dish drinks into your cups. This model offers just three preprogrammed drink settings — compared to the Key West and Bali models' four. The machine feels durable and it weighs a hefty 20 pounds. Most of its parts are completely dishwasher-safe, too.

Although this machine’s intended purpose is to make shaved ice from the comfort of your own home, it also works wonders at dishing out frozen margaritas. The shaver uses ice cubes straight from your freezer, so you don’t have to worry about pre-freezing ice blocks. It’s equipped with a high-speed motor and incredibly sharp stainless-steel blades that work in tandem to make super fine ice.

All you need to do is make your mixed concoctions like you normally would, pour them over glasses of shaved ice, and stir. We recommend chilling your mixed drink beforehand, so it doesn't melt the ice mixture as much.

The Rabbit is a silicone carafe that you fill with your mixed drink — whether it be a margarita, rosé, piña colada — and freeze overnight. The next day, you squeeze its sides with your hands until you reach the perfect frozen drink consistency. It even comes with a neoprene sleeve (to keep your hands warm), plus a muddler and spoon for stirring.

The carafe makes four servings, and it’s dishwasher-safe. The consistency of the drinks is more slush-like rather than blended. Not to mention, given the Rabbit's small size, it's significantly easier to store over a blender.

Our only complaint is that you have to plan when you’re going to use the Rabbit since it can take up to 48 hours to chill the drink.

If you want a margarita maker that plays double-duty as a blender or smoothie machine, the Hurom Hexa is an incredibly powerful and reliable high-speed blender that won't disappoint. It's oftentimes much cheaper than the fan-favorite Vitamix 5200 blender and works just as well.

It's not too loud, never gets stuck blending ice, and breaks ice down excellently without being too chunky. Its large 2-liter canister is big enough for big groups, and it's easy to clean. We also appreciate the blender's handsome stainless steel outer shell.
