A device and method for determining Brix ratios of fountain-dispensed beverages that have different Brix ratios. The device includes a primary cup and a set of secondary cups that have different cross sectional areas. When determining a beverage Brix ratio, a select secondary cup is attached to the primary cup based on the ratio of the cross sectional areas of the primary cup and selected secondary cup. This ratio is based on the Brix ratio of the beverage. The determination is performed by flowing the water from the dispensing head forming the beverage into the primary cup and the syrup forming the beverage into the select secondary cup. A slider attached to one of the cups is moved to a select position based on the liquid level in the cup. The liquid level on the other cup is compared against the level defined by an indicia on the slider.
