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!

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/
