Spicy Sriracha Bloody Mary

Oh, wait! Drink it? What a great idea! A Sriracha Bloody Mary recipe is now born and ready to blow the socks off anyone who is a self-proclaimed sriracha and Bloody Mary addict. The savory, spicy and rich umami flavors of sriracha hot sauce are perfect to replace regular tabasco. We’re on a culinary journey to create a small, but sinfully spicy collection of sriracha infused recipes.  And loving every minute of it! Playing with a bottle of hot sauce has never been so hot and gratifying.

What Hot Sauce to Use?

You can use your favorite hot sauce to replace the conventional Tabasco hot sauce used in most Bloody Mary recipes. This sriracha addition will leave you with an equally quenching, but slightly brighter spicy flavors from your traditional Bloody Mary. There are many recipes for Bloody Marys out there, so you can stick to your tried-and-true favorite Bloody Mary recipe and all you need to do is squirt in the sriracha instead of the Tabasco.

The Asian inspired tangy heat from the sriracha is definitely different, but subtle and bright enough to excite your Bloody Mary taste buds with something new.

Different Cocktail Garnishes

Cocktail garnishes are something we’re really fascinated by because having a great garnish can really make folks swoon over a cocktail. So although most of the garden is still in it’s Winter hibernation, we were able to find some great little specimens still growing from Summer!

Above: (L) a thin wedge of lime ribboned with a celery leaf. (R) thin, tender stalks of celery with the leaves attached Below: (L) baby carrots for the perfect shot of Bloody Mary! (R) some skewered cherry tomatoes (do you believe we still have tomatoes growing in December??! Although it’s too cold for them to ripen, they’re still exploding)

Have fun at your next brunch or party with a big pitcher of this Sriracha Bloody Mary and definitely don’t forget to get creative with your garnishes. Make everyone drool and swoon with excitement over so much beauty in a glass.
