The addition of the water to the cocktail can help to release the scents and flavors of the ingredients. I think perhaps that your blender is more powerful than what they were using. Try cutting the time in half, pouring the cocktail into a shaker, quick shake to mix the ingredients and then pour into your glass. Or I would just purchase a cheap blender from the store to do cocktails in and save the Ninja for everyday kitchen use. :) Dale
