A serving guide
Choose your starting point
Check whether your Calou is a ready-to-serve product, a concentrate or a drink prepared from ingredients. Read its label or the full preparation method first.
Build a balanced serving
Use a measured serving and consider sweetness, acidity, temperature and dilution together. For a commercial drink, begin with the producer’s serving directions.
Adjust deliberately
Change one element at a time and note what you prefer. Keep garnishes and additions consistent when comparing versions.
