What rule applies when making a drink with caramel as the sole flavor in chocolate milk?

When making a drink with caramel as the sole flavor in chocolate milk, the appropriate guideline is not to add an extra pump of sauce. This practice helps to maintain the intended balance of flavors in the beverage, as adding more caramel could overpower the chocolate flavor and disrupt the harmony of the drink. Caramel is already a rich and sweet flavor, and in combination with chocolate milk, it can create a decadent drink without needing an increase in sauce.

Utilizing the standard amount of caramel ensures that the chocolate flavor remains prominent, allowing the beverage to achieve the desired taste profile without excessive sweetness. Adjustments are made based on other flavor contributions or customer preferences, but in this case, the focus is on keeping the caramel as the singular flavor highlight without overwhelming the foundational chocolate milk taste.
