Sweetness Level Matters
Occasionally a well-balanced tasting drink to one person may in fact be too sweet for another. Adjust the level of sweetness by adding a squeeze of lemon or lime (do not add citrus juice to beverages that contain dairy.) Adding a splash of water may also do the trick or for cocktails/sangrias, adjust by adding club soda to help dilute sweetness and add a pop of effervescence.
SHORT TIP
Shaken cocktails depend on a certain level of dilution to obtain a balanced flavor so remember to shake vigorously for at least 12 seconds.
