BatchPour / Recipe balance
Make water part of the plan.
Set a water assumption. See how the full recipe, final volume and estimated ABV fit together.
22% and 27% are starting values, not fixed laws of stirring or shaking. Actual ice melt depends on temperature, ice and technique. A built drink can still dilute over service ice even when pre-added water is zero.
Water is a percentage of the full undiluted recipe, including juice, syrup and 0% ABV ingredients. These are editable planning assumptions. Measure a small trial to check actual dilution.
BatchPour tools produce estimates for planning purposes only. Actual dilution, ABV, and ingredient yields vary by technique, ice temperature, and produce. Always taste and adjust. Drink responsibly.
