From there, cut each half in half to quarter the watermelon.<ref>http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-cut-up-a-watermelon-step-by-step-tutorial-221100</ref> | + | #Slice your watermelon.

| − | #Add the cherries, watermelon, and blueberries. Fruit should be added next, so add the watermelon, blueberries, and cherries. As liquids go best nearest the bottom, try adding the cherries first as the jar will have some juice in it. This may help the drink mix faster.<ref | + | #Add the cherries, watermelon, and blueberries. Fruit should be added next, so add the watermelon, blueberries, and cherries.

| − | #Add the ice. The amount of ice you add is optional. It is to cool off the drink and give it a chunkier texture. A cooler, chunkier drink will require more ice. If space is an issue, use less ice to avoid overfilling the blender.<ref | + | #Add the ice. The amount of ice you add is optional. It is to cool off the drink and give it a chunkier texture.

| − | #Start on pulse, if possible. If your blender has a pulse setting, start by using this. Many people assume they should begin at the highest setting, but this will actually make the drink mix slower.

#*Keep pulsing the drink until things are beginning to mix smoothly. Fruit should stop getting stuck on the bottom and all the ingredients should be swirling together. | #*Keep pulsing the drink until things are beginning to mix smoothly.

| − | #Increase the speed gradually. Once things are blending, increase the speed to low. Blend the juice on low for 20 to 30 seconds. Then, increase the speed to high for an additional 20 to 30 seconds.<ref | + | #Increase the speed gradually. Once things are blending, increase the speed to low.

| − | #Cut fruit into small pieces if you have a weak blender. A powerful blender can mix ingredients more easily. If you're working with a small blender, without a lot of different speed settings, cut your fruit into very small pieces. This can help your juice mix smoothly even if your blender is on the weak side.<ref | + | #Cut fruit into small pieces if you have a weak blender. A powerful blender can mix ingredients more easily.

| − | #Pause and push around the ingredients if necessary. Even strong blenders sometimes slow down, especially when dealing with ingredients like fruit. If your blender is stalling, turn it off. Then, use a spoon to push the ingredients around. This should loosen things up and get your blender working again.<ref | + | #Pause and push around the ingredients if necessary.

| − | #Rinse your blender immediately. The longer you let a blender sit with dirty ingredients, the harder it will be to clean. You should rinse your blender under running water after using it.
