But if you are blending potable spirits it is a different matter. Never add the whisky (or whiskey, depending where you live) to the water - always add the water to the whisky. And never mix them while hot. Both of these mistakes will result in a cloudy blend.

Actually just inline mixing is not providing us homogeneous mixture, and also we want to mix during loading the truck.

mine is "dry, very dry"
RE: Ethanol and Water Mixing
Yeah density plays an important part so yeah in a glass pour the alcohol first.
Ever considered a mixing tank before the truck loaders; you can generate vortex using baffles in the tank and/or an agitator if a batch process???
to add to the humor ... lots and lots of speed bumps for the truck.

By inline mixing I assume you mean you simply pump the water and alcohol into the same line.
Not good enough, I recall reading a report on a water line which carried water from two different sources, identifiable through analysis, and they found the two streams were flowing as separate parralel streams in the pipe for some considerable distance.
You have two low viscosity fluids here so adding a static mixer into the line wouldn't create too big a headloss penalty. Search for static mixers or Vortab, Chemineer, etc.
