Of course, you may need to adjust depending on your blender. Typically, you are going to use a blender in drinks involving fruit, cream, eggs and that are frozen.
First, add 1 scoop of ice (about 1 cup) to the blender. Next, add you ingredients (booze, fruit, cream, etc…) according to the recipe. Secure the lid (this may seem trivial, but ya never know) and blend on low for 10 seconds. Let sit for a second and then blend on high for 10 seconds. At this point it should be done. If the cocktail is still a bit think blend it for 5 more seconds, but that is it. Pour into the chilled (this is critical) glass of you choice. Garnish and serve! :)

Ice is the most important ingredient for any party. You’ll not only need lots of ice to cool down bottles of beer (or a keg) white wine and sodas, but you need it for mixed drinks as well. The good news is that ice is cheap, so buy lots of it.

You don’t want to run out of anything, but you don’t want to be stuck with 6 bottles of cinnamon shcnapps either.
Plan for each guest to have 4 drinks over the course of an evening. The four drinks might be wine, beer, liquor or a non-alcohlic beverage (soda, coffee, bottled water). To plan the right amount of drinks use this formula.
Number of Guests x 4 drinks (50 guests x 4 drinks = 200 drinks).
Pretty simple, right? - the key is knowing your guests and gettting the right combination of drinks.
