Am I doing this right? Regarding: Blending - Tiki Drinks and Food

He used a Hamilton Beach top-down mixer and pulsed the drink 3 times. So when the recipe asks for a cup of crushed ice then blend....do it quickly and pulse away. Having crushed ice is the key and not crushing the ice while its in the cocktail is very important. This way your Zombie or whatever your in the mood for will come out great. I have found both of my mixers at garage sales for $5. Having 2 steel mixing cups comes in handy at parties also. Having an ice crusher is great and convenient. I use a Waring Pro I bought on eBay.
