Hochatown Distilling Co. Small Batch Straight Bourbon Whiskey — Hochatown, tucked into southeastern Oklahoma’s Kiamichi Mountains, has a long history of producing moonshines. Four bourbon-sippers from the area founded Hochatown Distilling Company in 2016, opting to release only bourbons made onsite, then aged and bottled on the property. 

Vault Ice Craft Cocktail Rocks — The perfect cocktail is only as good as its ingredients. If you ask Vault Ice, they’ll tell you that includes the ice. These cubes, spheres, and columns, each crafted to perfectly fit your glassware and recipe, are absolutely pure, perfectly clear, and slow-melting.

Oklahoma’s Own Ozarka Water — Ozarka offers naturally sourced and purified drinking water, with options from convenient 12-ounce bottles to 3-gallon jugs. The Drinking Water originates from a deep Oklahoma artesian well, with minerals added to achieve the crisp taste for which Ozarka has been known since 1907. 

Savory Spice Shop Orange Extract — From its outset in 2012, Savory Spice Shop has been more than just a purveyor of seasonings. The Blakley family envisioned a shop where both seasoned chefs and novice cooks could find inspiration, quality, and a devotion to community.
