Does any language have a word for mixing a beverage by pouring from one vessel into another? (mander.xyz)

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!

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.
