Batch calculator

Every Margaritaville machine expects a certain amount of liquid per cycle. Enter any recipe’s liquid ingredients in ounces (one line each, like 2 tequila) and pick your machine — we scale it to the liquid volume from that model’s manual margarita recipe. Solids like frozen fruit scale by the same factor.

Machine / batch
Key West DM1000 / DM1946 — 3 × 12 oz drinks (9.75 fl oz liquid)Bahamas DM0500 / Fiji DM2000 — 3 × 12 oz drinks (13 fl oz liquid)Tahiti DM3000 — per 24 oz jar (8.67 fl oz liquid)Bali DM3500 — half chamber (11 fl oz liquid)Bali DM3500 — full chamber (22 fl oz liquid)

Your recipe (ounces + ingredient, one per line)
2 blanco tequila 1 orange liqueur 1 fresh lime juice 0.75 simple syrup

How it works

The calculator adds up your liquid ounces, divides the machine’s reference volume by that total, and multiplies each line. The reference volumes come from each manual’s margarita recipe (see the batch ratio cheat sheet). For thicker drinks use a little less liquid; for thinner, a little more — see frozen drink science.
