More than 10 million bottles of Sriracha Sauce are sold each year. The addictive red chili sauce is an easy way to spice up stir-fries, meats, ramen noodles, soups and let’s face it… just about anything (I’ve been known to even put it on my eggs).

If you’re a Sriracha affectionado, you’ll love this Bloody Mary recipe. Sriracha takes the place of the more traditional Tabasco sauce in this recipe and as a result, adds a brighter flavor to the drink. Delicious. But don’t take our word for it. Give it a try (this makes for a great Mother’s Day drink).

1 lemon, juiced

1 tablespoon horseradish

3 cups V8 Juice

1 teaspoon Sriracha Sauce

1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

3/4 cups vodka

Combine all ingredients and mix. Recipe makes about 4 servings. I recommend you keep the above mix in a pitcher and pour single servings of it in to a cocktail shaker, adding ice and shaking to chill each serving.

Garnish with the vegetables of your choice. Get creative beyond celery (although it’s such a Bloody Mary classic for a reason — delicious). Try pickled asparagus, green beans, baby carrots, olives, cherry tomatoes, or lemon wedges.

Oh and by the way, these are awesome.
