Need we say more?!
In a large bowl or in the basin of a food processor, combine the egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice, water and garlic. Mix well to combine. Very slowly begin to emulsify your oil, whisking/blending constantly in one direction. Continue adding the oil in a thin steady stream until it is all incorporated. If the aioli becomes very thick, add a Tbsp of water. When all the oil is incorporated, add the sriracha and combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if needed.
