Sips & Tips

Technique

Blend until completely smooth — no ice chunks. The consistency should be like a thick smoothie. If it's too thin, add more ice. If too thick, a splash more lime juice.

Balance

Frozen drinks need slightly more sweetness than shaken versions because cold dulls sweetness perception. Taste the mix before blending and adjust syrup accordingly.
