When 'less sweet' is applied, what specifically happens to the secondary flavor?

When 'less sweet' is applied, it specifically results in the secondary flavor being cut by a quarter pump. This adjustment is made to maintain the balance of flavors in the beverage while reducing the overall sweetness. By decreasing the amount of the sweetening agent, the drink's other flavors can become more pronounced, allowing the secondary flavor to emerge more prominently without being overwhelmed by sweetness.

This modification is crucial because it ensures that the overall flavor profile is adjusted appropriately, allowing for a more harmonious taste experience. The secondary flavor doesn’t remain unchanged or become completely removed; rather, it is intentionally moderated to achieve a desired balance that caters to the preferences of those seeking a less sweet beverage.
