“TRU-ly Pickled” Sriracha cocktail recipe

I “might” have been daydrinking a little at Greenbar Distillery. This DELICIOUS cocktail—called “TRU-ly Pickled”—is made with 1 3/4 oz TRU Organic Garden vodka, ¼ oz FRUITLAB Organic Ginger Liqueur, ½ oz simple syrup, ¾ oz lemon juice, ½ oz Bruce’s Prime Pickle Dill “Pickle Back” juice, and 9 dashes of Sriracha. Shake it all with ice and strain into a rocks glass over more ice. Cheers!

Sriracha Cocktail Recipe: “East End” from The Elm in Brooklyn, NY 

If you haven’t had a cocktail made with Sriracha before, allow me to humbly inform you that you’ve been missing out. While I’ve yet to try this spiced-up concoction from The Elm restaurant in Brooklyn—made with gin, maple syrup, lemon juice, Navy-strength rum, and a dash of Sriracha bitters—I’m pretty excited by the mere thought of it.

Sriracha Vodka now exists, and Bloody Marys will never be the same  

UV Vodka has just begun releasing its Sriracha Vodka, and I have to admit that I’m pretty eager to try it! Besides a classic Bloody Mary, are you curious to know what else you can do with this marriage of Sriracha and vodka? City Pages Minneapolis has some suggestions, like putting it in pasta sauce or as part of a savory crust, like for an awesomely spicy pot pie.

Get your hands on a bottle? Lemme know what you think! I’m on the lookout for one as we speak!

Kara Newman is quite the expert with spicy cocktail recipes. Hell, you could say she wrote the book on spicy drinks… um, cuz she did. (Spice & Ice…check it out!) And today, on her Twitter feed, she mentioned something grand: Sriracha Bitters.

Now, The Sriracha Cookbook features a few Sriracha cocktail recipes, like the “Bleeding Mary” and another developed by my dear friend Christopher Day which features gin, tomato vodka, cucumber, Sriracha, and orange bitters… but with the news of these Sriracha bitters, it looks like there’s some more heavy drinking recipe research in my future.

Check out Kara’s Q&A with the creator of Sriracha bitters, Mark Buettler. And do yourself a favor: order a bottle and order her book.
