Tingala liqueur is a unique and versatile spirit that is handcrafted with the utmost care and attention to detail. It is made using a combination of fresh buzz buttons (spilanthes flowers), crushed cinnamon, premium spirits, liquid cane sugar, and pure Colorado Eldorado water. Let's delve into each of these ingredients to understand the depth and complexity of Tingala.
1. Fresh Buzz Buttons: The star ingredient of Tingala is the fresh buzz buttons, also known as spilanthes flowers. These flowers have a unique property – they produce a tingling and numbing sensation when consumed. This gives Tingala its distinct and memorable flavor profile. The buzz buttons are carefully harvested at their peak freshness to ensure the highest quality and flavor.
2. Crushed Cinnamon: Tingala incorporates real crushed cinnamon, which adds warmth and depth to the liqueur. Cinnamon is known for its aromatic and spicy characteristics, and it pairs beautifully with the buzz buttons. The cinnamon used in Tingala is sourced from high-quality suppliers, ensuring a consistent and delightful taste experience.
3. Premium Spirits: Tingala is crafted using top-notch spirits, selected for their quality and ability to complement the other ingredients. The choice of spirits contributes to the overall smoothness and balance of the liqueur. The exact spirits used in Tingala may vary, as the brand may experiment with different types to achieve the desired flavor profile. However, rest assured that only the best spirits make it into each bottle of Tingala.
4. Liquid Cane Sugar: To achieve the perfect level of sweetness, Tingala utilizes liquid cane sugar. This natural sweetener enhances the flavors of the buzz buttons and cinnamon, while avoiding any artificial or overpowering sweetness. Liquid cane sugar is derived from sugarcane, and it provides a smooth and balanced sweetness to the liqueur.
5. Pure Colorado Eldorado Water: The final component of Tingala is pure Colorado Eldorado water. This water is sourced from the pristine Eldorado Springs, known for its exceptional purity and taste. The use of high-quality water ensures that Tingala maintains its integrity and delivers a clean and refreshing drinking experience.
The combination of these carefully selected and thoughtfully sourced ingredients results in a truly unique and delicious liqueur. Tingala's flavor is adaptable and can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a variety of cocktails. The tingling sensation from the buzz buttons, the warmth of the cinnamon, and the overall harmonious blend of flavors make Tingala a one-of-a-kind spirit that will surprise and delight your taste buds.
As a sommelier and brewer, I have had the pleasure of experiencing Tingala firsthand. The complexity and depth of flavors in this liqueur truly amazed me.

The balance of sweetness is just right, allowing the unique flavors to shine through without overwhelming the palate.
