This homemade Sriracha Aioli sauce is spicy, garlicky, and super creamy. It is easy to make, has an endless amount of uses, and it tastes way better than the store-bought stuff.

Did I mention it mixes up in just 2 minutes? You heard me right! That’s faster than you can find it at any grocery store.

Let me tell you, this Sriracha Aioli sauce is so dang addicting. The sweet tang with fresh garlic and smoky chili notes is great on roasted vegetables, dipping chicken wings in, on sandwiches, burgers, and tacos. But what really makes all the difference is the homemade quality.

When you make it from scratch, you’re getting clean ingredients without artificial preservatives, seed oils, or mystery additives that lurk in store-bought versions. Plus, you have complete control over the heat level by adjusting the sriracha sauce and fresh garlic to your liking… And it’s cheaper too!

What is Sriracha Aioli?

Sriracha Aioli is a spicy sauce made with mostly mayonnaise and sriracha sauce. It’s creamy, zippy, and has a smooth (not taste bud buring) heat. Some call it spicy mayo, sriracha mayo, or even spicy aioli. And if you’re wondering, Sriracha is a balance of fermented cayenne peppers, red jalapeno peppers, and garlic.

How Spicy is This Aioli?

The spice level will vary depending on the brand of sriracha sauce you choose. I use Sky Valley sriracha sauce (not sponsored), which is perfect amount of spice without completely overwhelming your taste buds. I would say it’s about a 3 out of 5 when it comes to spiciness.

Keep in mind the mayonnaise will mellow out the spice, and you can easily alter the amount of sriracha sauce to suit your taste preferences. Add more for a spicier aioli and less for a more mild aioli

Sriracha Aioli Ingredients

Here’s everything you will need to make this aioli sauce and a few important notes too, so keep reading!

  • MAYONNAISE: Use your favorite or try my homemade Avocado Oil Mayonnaise. Just make sure you’re not using a sweet spread like Miracle Whip.
  • SRIRACHA SAUCE: I use Sky Valley brand because it has a great balance of flavor and spice without being too spicy (which I love). Feel free to use what you like, just keep in mind some sauces are spicier than others so you may have to alter the amount used.
  • LIME JUICE: Freshly squeezed lime juice tastes the best.
  • FRESH GARLIC: You’ll want to finely mince or grate it so you don’t get a big hunk of garlic. I typically do not recommend using garlic powder, but if you don’t like a lot of spice or want a more mild aioli it’s the best option.
  • SALT: Cuts through the acidity, so don’t skip it.
Ingredients. Mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, fresh lime juice, grated garlic clove, and salt.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I store Sriracha Aioli sauce, and for how long?

You should store your aioli in an airtight container and in the refrigerator. I prefer storing mine in a wide-mouth glass jar so it’s easier to scoop out. Technically it has the same shelf life as the mayonnaise used, but one month is a good rule to stand by. Before eating check the sauce for mold spores and a foul smell.

Can I use Tabasco Sauce instead of Sriracha?

Sriracha and Tabasco are not the same thing, and significantly differ in flavor, texture, and ingredients. Tabasco is made with fermented Tabasco peppers, vinegar, and salt. It’s flavor is sharp, super hot, and the texture is thin. I do not recommend swapping them.
