Inelastic X-ray and neutron scattering techniques were jointly used to investigate the dynamics of water-glycerol mixtures at different concentrations and temperatures. It was observed that even relatively low concentrations of glycerol increase the damping of shear modes, as a consequence of the known ability of glycerol to disrupt the hydrogen bond network of water. A similar trend was observed when increasing the temperature, which suggests the presence of a locus in the concentration-temperature plane marking a crossover in the shear modulus.
