Frozen Margaritas- What setting do you put the blender on?

[JEDI]

Pour in tequila, triple sec, lime juice. add ice, put in blender, mix. but...

my blender is the Sunbeam 6 speed.

I put it at the highest setting (Liquidfy) and the ice just melts. i just have a really cold drink w/o the consistancy of a Margarita.

So what speed and how long do i blend it?

edit:
Frozen

Your blender is trying to tell you something: You should be drinking them on the rocks anyway.

You know that setting is called "liquidfy" for a reason.

Crush for a while, then puree for just a minute.

Not sure how many speeds our is (all I know is it's a Sunbeam.) Once you get the ice broken down useing the 'crush' setting, I personally then use the 'whip' setting for as long as it takes to get the right consistency.

Blended margaritas? You're joking, right? I'll take mine on the rocks.

Put the tequila in the freezer, and the mix in the fridge. That should prevent the ice from melting.
