κεράννυμι

G. Abbott-Smith's A Manual Greek Lexicon of the New Testament

κεράννυμι,

[in LXX for מסךְ, Is 5:22, al.;]

to mix, mingle, chiefly of the diluting of wine: Re 18:6; by oxymoron, κεκεράσμενος ἄκρατος, Re 14:10.†

SYN.: μίγνυμι. κ. implies "a mixing of two things, so that they are blended and form a compound, as in wine and water, whereas μ. implies a mixing without such composition, as in two sorts of grain" (LS, s.v. κρᾶσις).
