Plastic Margarita Glasses

There is a major advantage to using plastic margarita glasses that should not be overlooked. There are several occasions that will arise, or parties that you will throw where plastic would be a much better choice than the alternative of glass.

Some of those situations would be large parties or parties with children.

Also, since a lot of margarita parties and get togethers will be around pools and water, glass is prohibited, and for good reason.

If glass breaks and gets in the pool, it is next to impossible to locate and get out without a major overhaul which includes draining the pool and cleaning it.

Since the more people you have together, and the more you drink, the higher chance of glass falling and breaking, obviously it becomes more and more likely. When you go with plastic you simply avoid these issues.

Should you go with disposable?

The plastic margarita glass you go with is also debatable on which is the best, since some people prefer to get heavy duty plastic glasses, and some prefer the easier, albeit more expensive option of disposable plastic glasses.

These might be the better option when you are throwing a one-time, very large party where people might take the glasses with them, or you simply don’t know everyone.

View it as a one time expense and if it makes sense, go ahead with the disposable option.

You can pick up some nice disposable plastic margarita glasses from KegWorks, available through Amazon.

Finding The Perfect Margarita Set

A good margarita set can really simplify getting all of your margarita supplies in one swoop. It’s important to know that when you get one, you might not get absolutely everything you need for your margaritas from one set, but the more time you spend on finding out exactly what you need, you can save a lot of trouble and money by finding the exact set that is right for you.

A lot can vary from set to set, and also from your needs. If you are looking for a margarita set just for a small party, that you won’t use very often, it will definitely change what you need as opposed to trying to find one for a large party that you host frequently.

A good margarita set should have the glasses, pitchers and other accessories that you need to start and finish a perfect margarita, outside of the actual margarita machine of course.

It’s important for the pitchers to match the size of the glasses, because if you have a small pitcher and big glasses, the pitcher will become almost pointless. Also, where you plan on hosting these is important as well. It might seem trivial, but inside and outside can really change what kind of margarita set and accessories you might want to purchase. For instance, if you are hosting outside parties with a bunch of people in hot weather, you should go with smaller glasses and bigger pitchers so you can keep the party going and not worry about having everyone’s drinks melting on them and getting ruined.

Some of the basics you should look for in your margarita set:

- Enough glasses for your needs. From 2-12 is usually a good amount.
- A decent cutting board for slicing up limes, etc.
- A big enough tray to hold everything on makes everything easier as far as serving.
- Look for wide brim lids on the glasses, if you plan on doing a lot of salt-rimming.
- Find out if they are dishwasher safe so clean up will be a lot faster & easier.
- Multi-use is important if you plan on serving more than just margaritas in the future.
- Thick glass is important to avoid accidents.
- Clear glass makes the colors of the margaritas shine through much more clear which just looks nice.
