'''Mizuwari''' ([[Japanese language|Japanese]]: 水割り, "cut with water") is a popular way of drinking spirits in [[Japan]]. Typically, about two parts of cold water are mixed with one part of the spirit and some ice. The practice comes from Japanese [[shochu]] drinking traditions but is also a very popular way of drinking [[whisky]].
A closely related way is to substitute cold water with hot water, in what is known as '''Oyuwari''' (お湯割り, "cut with hot water").
