Tips for Perfect Frozen Drinks

• Use a strong blender: A high-powered one gives you that smooth, no-chunk consistency.
  
• Sweeten smartly: Syrups mix better than sugar, which can sink to the bottom.
  
• Chill your glass: A frosty glass keeps your drink colder for longer.
  
• Don’t overdo the booze: Too much alcohol stops the mixture from freezing properly.
