What is in each Margarita format?

The keg ships as a non-alcoholic Margarita mixer. Your venue adds its own tequila using the approved recipe. It is not a premixed alcoholic Margarita keg.

At 6 oz finished, the standard build gives about 163 gross drinks and the smaller build about 107. Ice is separate from the measured liquid pour. Allow for actual line and service loss.

Choose your tequila and model the cost.

Nine liters is twelve 750 mL bottles or nine 1 L bottles; six liters is eight 750 mL bottles or six 1 L bottles. Record bottle size as well as price. A $155 keg plus twelve $25 bottles is $455 of ingredients, not $236. With a 4 oz finished pour and an assumed 5% loss, that is about $1.96 per saleable drink before freight, garnish, labor and overhead.

At a 4 US fl oz finished pour, the build yields about 245 gross drinks, or 232 saleable drinks with your 5% loss assumption. Spirit and base proportions above describe the finished recipe, not extra liquid to add after the pour.

The Margarita, every way you serve it

By the glass, by the batch, or on tap: the same drink, three ways to pour it.

By the glass

The classic build, one drink at a time. A great Margarita, but slow when the bar is three deep.

By the batch

The supplied mixer reduces base preparation. You still measure the spirit addition, follow storage instructions and check the finished drink.

On tap

The Craft Standard way: add spirit, connect, garnish, serve.

Garnish & serve

Your glassware, your garnish, your menu name. Measure the finished pour and check it against your signed-off recipe.

Six reasons it earns its handle.

Speed of service

Consistency on tap

Start each serving from the same prepared base. Measure the spirit addition and finished pour, then check taste and dispense behavior.

How it works

Three steps for consistent pours.

If your team can pour a beer, they can pour Craft Standard.

Step 1: attach the patented Spiker to charge and seal the keg
STEP 01

Spike it

Your keg arrives with natural juice mix, shelf-stable, with room to add spirits. Attach the patented Spiker™. Check the accessory on your order.

Step 2: pour your own spirit into the keg through the Spiker funnel
STEP 02

Make it yours

Add the spirit you already stock and shake. It only becomes a cocktail once you add the alcohol, so the brand, the proof, and the pour cost are all yours.

Step 3: connect to a standard Sankey D coupler on your tap tree, the same one running your beer
STEP 03

Tap it

Use the standard U.S. Sankey D connection after your technician checks line suitability, gas, cooling and cleaning for the selected recipe.

The math · your own inputs

Know your cost per finished pour.

A standard build is about 29 L finished: 20 L of mixer plus 9 L of your spirit. Choose the bottle size, invoice price, menu price and finished pour before comparing the cost.

9 L added: 9 bottles of 1000 mL. Use your own invoice price.

4.0 oz of finished cocktail into an 8 oz cup, over ice: ~245 pours per keg at this size.

Ingredient cost only, before freight, loss, labor, garnish and overhead.

Contribution per drink

Based on a 30L Craft Standard keg: $155 keg, plus 9.00 × 1000 mL bottles of the spirit you already buy, ~29L finished cocktail. Drinks per keg scale with your finished pour size. Contribution is not net profit. Use the full pour-cost tool to include freight and an assumed loss.

Illustrative ingredient example: $155 mixer + 9 L spirit at an assumed $9 per 1 L bottle = $236. About 245 gross pours at 4 US fl oz finished and $12 per drink means $2,940 gross revenue. This excludes line loss, freight, labor, garnish, tax and overhead. Actual ingredient cost changes with bottle size and invoice price; this is not net profit.
