Malt Vinegar Aioli
- Last Updated: February 16, 2025
Malt Vinegar Aioli Recipe
Are you looking for something different to dip your french fries into?
Well, say goodbye to ketchup!
That’s too harsh.
I love ketchup, however, there are only so many times someone can keep dipping their fries into the same old thing before getting bored.
I’m talking about the store-bought, high fructose corn syrup-added tomato paste that lines your local grocery store.
You want and deserve something new. I’m always on the lookout to try something new, and I have something unique here to share.
Enter, aioli!
What is Aioli?
The Merriam-Webster dictionary definition: a mayonnaise flavored with garlic and sometimes other ingredients (such as red pepper).
My definition: A garlic lover’s dream come true!
Aioli has increasingly become popular on gourmet burgers. I’m talking about the type of burger you would find at both fast-casual and higher-end restaurants.
There’s even a restaurant and food truck in Arizona named Aioli Burger that specializes in having different varieties of aioli in their burgers!
This doesn’t mean that aioli has to be limited to just being enjoyed when you are out with family and friends.
Check out my awesome malt vinegar aioli recipe you can make right at home, quick and easy!
This recipe is crafted with my own Bourbon Barrel Malt Vinegar.
I feel my version brings a distinctive brightness to the aioli overall compared to the generic store-bought brands.

Awesome recipe, it was a big hit at my party!
Tom
The texture of this was almost water thin. Is that what is intended?
Chris WhitehairAuthor
Hey Tom,
It shouldn’t have been water thin at all. What brand mayo and Greek yogurt did you use? Those are not thin ingredients. My malt vinegar would not dilute it enough to make it water-like, especially only using 2 tablespoons worth.

Do you use plain Greek yogurt?
Chris WhitehairAuthor
Yep, plain!
Julie
I completely disagree with the previous comment that the Greek yogurt “ruins” the recipe. I made this as the recipe written and loved it as did the rest of my family!
Chris WhitehairAuthor
Glad you liked it Julie! I have no problem with differences of opinion, so I take all feedback good and bad. As mentioned, I like to try something different when creating recipes. I really feel here the Greek yogurt puts this malt vinegar aioli recipe on a different level. It’s about how all ingredients work together, not on their own!
Jeff
Why would you ruin MV Aioli with greek yogert. I don’t get it.
Chris WhitehairAuthor
If Greek yogurt isn’t your thing, you can replace it in this recipe with more mayo. I don’t think Greek yogurt ruins it at all – you get the creaminess and tangy goodness that compliments the malt vinegar well, especially my Bourbon Barrel malt vinegar. No other malt vinegar recipes I’ve seen online used Greek yogurt, so I wanted to do something different.
Richard Bennett
Best aioli recipe I’ve ever made! I would’ve never have thought to use Greek yogurt. The Flower City Flavor Company Bourbon Malt Vinegar is the best malt vinegar I’ve ever had.
Amy Ross
We put the aioli on our wallet filet sandwiches! Absolutely delicious!! We like malt vinegar on our fish and chips and I thought how could I put the malt vinegar flavor on the sandwich without having it get soggy. This was perfect!
Autumn
So good! We dipped roasted Brussels sprouts in it, but I can’t wait to try it with fries!
Lisa E
The feedback at my house was “just put that on anything”. This is a really good sauce or dip. Chicken, potatoes, veg. Absolutely delicious.
