First, make sure you add the ice last, just before you blend.

Do not turn it on blend or hit any of the buttons and let it whirl for any amount of seconds. If you are using a top down mixer, that can be okay for a few seconds. If you use a blender, no.

Here is how to do it with a blender:

Put all ingredients in the blender, adding crushed ice last. (I actually add everything but ice, set the pitcher on the blender and set it to the lowest setting of "Stir" for a couple of seconds, before adding ice.)

With ice in it, hit the button and stop. On mine, there is a "Pulse" button. Some have just a high or low switch. Hit it as short as possible.

Let it stop.

Hit it again.

Let it stop.

Hit is again.

Done.

You are just swirling that ice around. You are NOT maknig a slushy. Above I said hit it 3 times. You may even cut it to 2. See what works. You should still have recognizable crushed ice in the glass.

Do NOT run the blender for 5 seconds.
