Wondering will shaking with crushed ice and straining on fresh crushed ice will be as good as blending? I hate cleaning my blender :)

I use an immersion blender in a shaking tin, which gives me great results but a lot less cleanup and the ability to make individual servings.

I'd try shaking with a mix of cubbed and crushed ice then straining over fresh crushed ice. Best to take ice from -18 freezer and then crush to ensure does not overly dilute the cocktail.
