Prepare Citric Acid Solution:

To make a 1% citric acid solution, dissolve 1 gram of citric acid in 100 ml of water (or scale it up depending on how much you need). Stir until the citric acid is fully dissolved.

Mix with Piña Reàl:

Add the 1% citric acid solution to the 10 oz of Piña Reàl pineapple syrup. This will balance the sweetness and give the syrup a brighter, more tart flavor.
