Tingala® is a new kind of spirit, a tingling liqueur that is available only in Colorado. It makes a great 

gift for those looking for something truly different for the spirits lovers on their holiday list. Tingala 

is the fi rst alcohol beverage in the U.S. made from fl owers known as “buzz buttons” or “toothache 

plant.” This fl ower (also known as ‘spilanthes’) has an intense, fun, buzzing mouth feel. Tingala is 

a delicious premium liqueur. Its fl avors evolve on the palate, making it ideal for sipping or for use 

in cocktails. Unlike some other liqueurs, it is only lightly sweetened. It is made with fresh fl owers, 

real crushed cinnamon and other natural ngredients.Tingala’sunique, electrifying mouth feel adds 

interest and can enhance other fl avors and textures. Tingala is all natural and gluten free, and it 

is handcrafted and batch made in Denver, Colorado by a family business. Bringing tactile quality 

to cocktails-the way a drink feels-is an exciting new trend in the world of cocktails. You can fi nd 

Tingala at major Denver-Boulder area liquor stores. Look for it in the store’s liqueurs aisle. Out of 

state shipping is available to some states. Tingala comes in a (375ml) gift size for around $32, or 

the bar size (750ml) for about $42. For cocktail and serving ideas, visit www.tingalaspirits.com.

Blue Owl Preserves provides low-sugar jams made with organic ingredients. Jams are produced 

in Colorado Springs in small batches. I source organic fruit grown in Colorado, when seasonally 

available. With only 3 grams of sugar per serving (compared to as much as 12 grams in brand 

name varieties), these jams allow the full fl avor and sweetness of the fruit to shine through. All 

jams are sweetened with organic cane sugar. No artifi cial sweetners are used. Each jar comes 

with serving suggestions. For instance, try the Apricot Jam on a Havarti grilled cheese sandwich 

or swirl the Mixed Berry Jam with plain yogurt. Flavors vary throughout the season, but include 

Apricot, Peach, Mixed Berry, Blueberry Rhubarb, Blackberry Nectarine, Mango Lime, Spiced 

Pear Cranberry, Peach Habanero, Apple Butter and more.
