I don’t mean something like “pour” or “mix” in the English language. The word should capture the idea of pouring from one vessel into another with the goal of going from a semi-heterogenous solution to a mostly-homogeneous solution.
I commonly do this to mix my cocktails. I’m not sure why, but it just seems quicker/easier than either shaking or stirring.
Thanks in advance! Just trying to figure out if it already exists before looking into making up a word for it!
I believe the word you’re looking for is “Rolling”! It’s specifically a mixology term for mixing by pouring between containers. It’s mentioned in the techniques section of this page: https://bartendertrainingcenter.com/bartending-techniques/
There are a few variations in German:
- (hin)zugießen/dazugießen (pour one liquid into another)
- (hin)zuschütten/dazuschütten (also including rubble/powder/…)
- (hin)zugeben/dazugeben/hineingeben/beimischen/hineinmischen (also including solids, basically add+mix)
- (hin)einrühren (also stir the mixture)
- zusammengießen (pour liquids into each other)
- zusammenschütten (also including rubble/powder/…)
- zusammenmischen (also including solids, basically combine+mix)
- zusammenrühren (also stir the mixture)
Ofc all of them are combinations of existing words: (hin)zu/dazu≈added to that, bei≈with, (hin)ein=into, gießen/schütten=pour, schutt=rubble, geben=give, rühren=stir, mischen=mix, zusammen=together. You could probably build many more, but those are the ones I think are fairly common, and also found entries in German online dictionaries for.
German is really just an elaborate word construction project.
“Escanciar” in Spanish means pouring from a height for the purpose of mixing a beverage (usually cider) with air. I suppose it would still be valid if you’re pouring a mix from some height.
Decanting is close, but it is focused on not disturbing other liquids. So decanting may not fit with a “mostly-homogenous” solution.
Draft could also sort of work, as it means to drain a container, although it doesn’t specify a secondary container.
I think decent is the correct word
