Top it off

Sorry, I'm cheating a bit, but this is the idiomatic expression you're looking for.

"That little extra bit"

Como "chorinho"é aquela quantidade adicional que o garçom coloca no copo, e não existe uma terminologia adequada para o inglês, optei por uma adaptação.
Note from asker:
Thanks, Heloisa, for the suggestion but I was actually expecting an idiom. I don't think there's a term, either. therefore, I guess I'd better leave it with an explanation.
