SABZU Pink Sriracha has been developed through a partnership with the Pho healthy Vietnamese street food restaurant group as a celebratory condiment that tackles aesthetics in a vibrantly delicious way.
The condiment starts off with white Thai chilis sourced from northern Thailand that are paired with hibiscus flowers to achieve the signature pink hue, which also contributes towards fruit-forward initial tasting notes. The sauce then evolves into the signature spiciness that sriracha is coveted for, while the pink-hued profile will transform dishes into a visual spectacle for an unexpectedly appetizing appeal.
SABZU Pink Sriracha is launched with the Pho Pink Wednesdays promotion where customers who visit their nearest location wearing pink on a Wednesday will unlock access to select dishes and a spicy pink margarita for £5 each.
