# Spicy Vodka Drinks The Sriracha Chelada is a Perfect Patio Puncher By Jennifer Paul | Published 2014-04-16 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sriracha-chelada References: [foodbeast](http://www.foodbeast.com/2014/04/01/sriracha-chelada/) & [uvvodka](http://www.uvvodka.com) The sriracha chelada has a few different ingredients including UV vodka’s sriracha vodka, beer, tomato juice, lime and a little bit of worchester sauce. I love hot sauce so this is definitely a drink I would try on a patio with a complementing meal. What makes it very interesting to me is that it has beer as an ingredient, something I was not expecting. UV vodka offers a unique variety of flavors perfect to fit anyone personality and flavor connoisseur. The drink reminds me of a caesar, but don’t be mistaken for its complementing color coincidence. The UV sriracha chelada has a much more distinct flavor, although they have similarities in ingredients, the sriracha chelada is made to be hot, spicy and packed with a punch. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Spicy Vodka Drinks:** The trend of spicy vodka drinks is on the rise, offering a unique twist to traditional cocktails. - **Flavored Vodka:** The popularity of flavored vodkas, such as UV vodka's sriracha vodka, showcases the demand for innovative and adventurous spirits. - **Beer-infused Cocktails:** The incorporation of beer into cocktails, like the sriracha chelada, presents disruptive opportunities for both the beer and cocktail industries. ### Who This Affects Most - **Alcoholic Beverage:** The alcoholic beverage industry can explore new flavors and ingredients, like sriracha vodka, to create innovative and captivating drink options. - **Restaurant and Hospitality:** Restaurants and bars can capitalize on the trend of spicy vodka drinks by offering unique and flavorful cocktails to attract customers. - **Flavoring and Condiments:** Producers of condiments and flavorings can tap into the demand for spicy flavors by innovating and partnering with beverage companies to create infused spirits and mixers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chili-Flavored Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/park-birds-eye.md) - [Spicy Vodka Expressions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halapeo-pepper-vodka.md) - [Spiced Jalapeño Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halapeo-pepper.md) - [Spicy Canned Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-canned-cocktails.md) - [Co-Branded Spicy Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/absolut-tabasco.md) - [Collaborative Spiced Vodka](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/absolut-x-tabasco.md) - [Spicy Tropical Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyy-infusions-spicy-mango.md) - [Balanced Cherry Habanero Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/james-bay-cherbanero.md) - [Spicy Craft Vodka Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kickstand-cocktails.md)
