You want to mix everything together and get it cold, If you are using crushed ice you do not have to shake too hard or too long, just till you get a good chill on the shaker. And, if you are 'presenting' Mai-Tai's this is an opportunity to show off a bit.... More discussion specific to the Mai-Tai can be found here
