shake well
Bottle label instruction
Shake well is an instruction found on bottles and containers of liquids whose contents separate when left standing—juices with pulp, salad dressings, medicines with suspended particles.
The direction ensures ingredients are properly mixed before use: Shake well before serving.
It functions as a compound verb in imperative form.
