Finally, a hot sauce that doesn't fight your food

Made in small batches in Melbourne for people who quietly judge the condiments at every table they sit at. The bottle you bring because the pub still hasn't sorted theirs.

Flavour first, heat second. Brightness, citrus and native Australian ingredients up front, then a creeper of heat that builds without flattening the meal. You'll put it on everything, then panic a little when the bottle runs low.

Gold at the Melbourne Royal Awards, if you need the receipts. Mostly though, you'll just keep reaching for it.

Quality matters to us.

And it should matter to you. We bottle in small batches, so every drop keeps its freshness, its punch and its flavour. Real heat, real flavour, no apologies.

  • Flavour-first, always
  • All-natural ingredients
  • Low sugar
  • Proudly female-owned

    Is there anyone out there who doesn’t love a spiced marg? Doubt it. But let’s raise the stakes. What’s better than a spicy marg? Double the spicy marg. Enter, the Finger Lime x Jalapeño—tequila-filled glass just the righ amount of sting. Even the salt rim shows up swinging. No afterthoughts here. It slaps.

    Tuna Tostaditos

    The kind of canapé that makes you look wildly impressive, with minimal actual effort. A crispy base, a zesty hit of tuna, and just enough garnish to make people think you know what you’re doing. They're quick to prep, easy to plate, and guaranteed to vanish in minutes. Fancy without the faff.
