my sister says u ask for "little ice" but that sounds wrong for some reason, since little is to measure size and not quantity.

But saying "A LITTLE ICE" wouldn't that be saying that you want one little cube of ice? or u want little ice cubes? thats why am saying it sounds weird.

While I do agree that it sounds awkward, the word little can be used in reference to an amount.

How much cream would you like in your coffee? Very little.

You could say, easy on the ice. Or very few ice cubes, please.

I just ask for the drink with no ice. Then I borrow a couple of ice cubes from someone else's drink.

I have often asked for "just a little ice, please".
I don't know if it's wrong or not but it sounds okay to me.
