Supports deliberate coupled dilution and temperature. The fixed five-second instruction and minimum-dilution wording are source-specific, not universal endpoints.
General technique instruction.
The shaking section explicitly treats ice dilution as necessary to the balance of taste, alcoholic strength, and temperature, and describes shaking as also mixing, chilling, and aerating. Stirring is presented as a more controlled, lower-aeration alternative.
