TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
• For a thicker blended drink, gradually add more ice and use less liquid ingredients.
• For a thinner blended drink, blend for longer and gradually add more liquid mixer
to the jar.
• Cut food and solid ingredients into pieces no larger than
¾
” for use in the blender.
• For best results when making blended cocktails, use ice that has been out of the
freezer between 10 and 15 minutes.
• Use
¾
cup of ice per serving, crushed .
• Do not fill blender more than 2/3 full with liquids.
• Layer ingredients starting with liquids on the bottom, followed by fruit and ending
with ice.
• When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar or the mixture is very thick,
turn the appliance off. Remove the lid and use a rubber spatula to scrape down
the sides of the jar and to redistribute the food, pushing food toward the blades.
Replace the lid and continue blending.
