Buzz button spirits made with fresh flowers native to Brazil with a natural tingling taste
Tingala is like nothing you’ve tasted before. It is awash in the incredibly unique tingling taste of fresh spilanthes (buzz buttons), natural herbal flavor, real cinnamon, and citrus notes. It has an aromatic bouquet and is less sweet than traditional liqueurs.
Tingala’s enticing tongue-buzzing taste develops in the first sips and lasts for several minutes, offering an extraordinary taste experience!
You will notice Tingala’s tingle in the first few sips.
We traditionally think of flavor as consisting of taste and smell, but there is also the somatosensory or tactile, third part of the flavor equation that we experience when we enjoy creamy, crunchy, or effervescent texture; temperature; and more.
Buzz buttons (spilanthes) contain a natural compound spilanthol which triggers these “touch” or trigeminal nerves in a unique way. Tingala drinkers experience an amazing tingling mouthfeel! As an added bonus, buzz buttons also heighten enjoyment of other flavors and textures.
Tingala is made to be mixed! Its higher ABV and lower sweetness allows the mixologist flexibility in customizing cocktails. It adds distinctive flavor and a palpable tactile note to mixed drinks.
Use it as a base, modifier, accent or float. Try it as a chaser or in a shot drink recipe. We invite you to try one of our signature drinks or use Tingala in a cocktail creation of your own. It is an exciting way to reimagine and invigorate cocktails!
Adaptable and delicious, Tingala is the secret ingredient you didn’t know your drink needs!
Buzz Buttons (also called electric daisies, paracress, or szechuan buttons), are the bud-like flowers of the spilanthes acmella plant, an herb traditionally used in cooking and traditional folk medicine. Tingala offers modern drinkers a delicious new way to enjoy this fascinating botanical!
Our family’s humble vision was to apply skill, passion, and curiosity to produce one of the most interesting spirits in the world.
We make Tingala using only fresh botanicals and other all natural ingredients, with no extracts or artificial ingredients. Safe and FDA-approved, the buzz button flowers that we use come from the most flavorful variety of spilanthes plants available. U.S. growers cultivate and handpick the flowers, which are sent to us at their peak of freshness.
Our artisanal process captures the essence of these amazing flowers in a liqueur for your enjoyment!
It’s not often that an entirely different new spirit comes along. Ours has bold tingling character, authentic fresh botanical flavor, and natural sensory appeal unlike any other U.S. spirit.
Tingala is in a premium spirits class of its own.
As an innovative alternative to the traditional, it is a creative addition to the modern bar. It transforms cocktails, offering a one-of-a-kind experience.
Unlike some brands–some big ones–who claim to be different, Tingala is truly unique. Please ask for it and look for it in the liqueurs and cordials aisle.
Tingala is 50% alcohol by volume to showcase its tingly, assertive personality in cocktails. Higher ABV preserves Tingala’s just-harvested flavor, guarantees longer shelf life, reduces packaging, and provides excellent flavor and value.
Lower in sugar than many other liqueurs, without heavy sweetness, Tingala is well suited for use in classic cocktails. It is savory, versatile, and pairs well with other alcohol and mixers in both traditional and innovative drink recipes.
