My mom expressed some interest in going non-a and I had just the solution for her to try: the sampler + a gift card for the big bottle of the one she liked better. Pulling directly from her text back to me:
They are both really different, but I have enjoyed trying both. Lacewing I think would be great in the summer especially...reminds me of peaches. Tandem was a surprise! Almost had a Tabasco-like kick to it. I could see myself going non-A on occasion and not feeling “left out” if I had something like this to choose from rather than something sweet and fizzy.
Overall a successful holiday present!
