Awesome !!! All I can say besides thanks 🙏🏻

I have a message for Nickki - sent this last week, but not sure if he received it

Nickki, 

Thanks for the discount and expedited shipping.  Your crew did an excellent job packing the order.

First impressions on Lemon Blend. Since there were no mixing instructions, I consulted with ChatGPT on potential dilution ratios for a concentrated, noncarbonated lemonade-like drink. I experimented with 2 mixes:

1) 1 part concentrate to 2 parts water (4 oz concentrate + 8 oz water)

2) And a 1:3 ratio (4 oz concentrate + 12 oz water)

Both were chilled overnight. Then I added crushed ice which is how I think Lemon Blend is usually served.

#1 - The first one was quite strong and very sweet. More citrus flavor and thick, almost syrupy, like a fountain drink. It was a little over the top for me, although I’m not used to sugary drinks. I liked it more as the ice melted.

#2 – Wow. Now this was more like it. I really enjoyed this. Sweet with lots of citrus but not overly sweet. Not too strong.  I really like the pulp too. The lemon/orange flavors go perfectly in my opinion. Very refreshing. That’s how I remember it from years ago. Better than any lemonade or carbonated soda out there. I also had Cindy try them and her favorite was #2; she really liked it a lot.

Just a thought - I wonder if your Lemon Blend could be formulated sugar free, with a non-nutritive sweetener like Stevia. It would probably change the flavor profile, but it might help expand your customer base to those folks who are supposed to limit their sugar intake (like me).

Final analysis – I really like it. There’s nothing quite like it in the marketplace that I’m aware of. Thanks for letting me try it. Good luck with your business.

Love this brand, great in chili, spaghetti sauce. The hint of sweetness makes these the best.
