Quick question regarding ice measurement. Is 6 ounces by volume or weight? We have tried a few blended cocktails and found that they were to watery or not cold enough. We are using a Lewis Bag to crush. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Great site BTW!

I've added notes above on how big a "6oz" scoop actually is. The trick for making great cold crushed ice is to start with very cold cubed ice and work quickly using a dry Lewis bag. Take your cubed ice directly from a freezer (at least -18 °C) and then immediately after crushing, scoop into your blender or cocktail glass.
