It will water itself down when the ice melts. What I'm doing is "pre-staging" the drink. Kind of like reaching out and gently pushing the ride cymbal with your hand, to get encourage a gentle vibrating motion before you actually strike it. This prevents the first note from being harsh, if you catch my drift. Gets you right into the cushy part of the groove.
Pre-staging a drink is why, as a bartender, you learn which customers absolutely do not want a new glass of ice with each drink. Some want their iced seasoned with new cubes added as needed, some want brand new ice.
