From the AHD:

min·gle

v. min·gled, min·gling, min·gles
v. tr.
To mix or bring together in combination, usually without loss of individual characteristics. See Synonyms at mix.

v. intr.

————————————————————————————————————————
[Middle English menglen, frequentative of mengen, to mix, from Old English mengan; see mag- in Indo-European roots.]

mingler n.

Although Katy had already suggested commingle, it’s a such a lovely word, and the Agora is such a mingle-mangle of words, that I think it deserves another go.

I love to mingle with folks (and also mingle drinks)
