First thing that you will need to take care of is selecting a glass to your customer's preference. There will be a few choices to select from, so look at the clues on the left side of the screen.

Next, select ice to what your customer desires. Keep in mind that both of these will determine the number of mixes that you can pour to craft a concoction. Small glass and more ice means you will be unable to use a large amount.
