Got offered a full-time offer for this summer that handily beats one I accepted back in October, thinking it was the best I could get.

What’s the best way to tell my old recruiter I don’t want their mixed nuts baggie of an offer anymore?

Just tell them. There is no good way to renege on an offer. Go into know your burning that bridge. Edit to add: Some employers will notify your school as well.

Thank them for the offer and the time they invested in recruiting you. Then share that you’ve received an offer that better aligns with your career goals. Don’t shade their offer. That’s just immature.
