Whenever you like, after it finishes fermentation.

Blend it in a wineglass first, not in a carboy -- that way, if you don't
like the results, you've spoiled only one glass instead of ten gallons.

That also gives you the opportunity to blend in different proportions,
to see what best suits your taste.
