Depends on the drink your making. For a mint julep or singapore sling just
stat with the shaved ice. for a frozen drink like a magarita or daiquiri put
the shaved ice in a blender but don't just let it whirl if you have a pluse
button use it to do short bursts.Don't expect to get it perfect on the first
try as it takes practice.
hope this helps some.
