Yeah it’s funny, they do hate alcohol until grown but want the other flavors. My penultimate child asked if I could make a non alcoholic margarita and I had to gently explain that most of what she liked about the margarita was in the tequila and you can’t just take it out.

And yeah I think developing a palate is part of educating a kid. Some are naturally pickier than others but giving them tastes of everything does help to widen their likes. Which makes them better guests and is a good quality in general.
