Is it possible for me to get sriracha liquor in DC by next Tuesday?

My office mate is switching jobs and loves sriracha. Is there a way for me to get a sriracha-flavored liquor (NOT beer) by Tuesday for a goodbye prezzie?

UV Vodka made a sriracha vodka but it seems like it has been discontinued; I've called a ton of liquor stores in the area, including Maryland and Virginia, and it doesn't seem like anyone has it. Apparently it's illegal to ship spirits to DC, MD, or VA and I don't know where I'd be able to order it from anyway. I'm not married to the brand but I want it to be sriracha vodka (sriracha bourbon or whiskey/whisky would also be okay if there is such a thing but it doesn't look like it). I know it's a long shot and the answer's probably no but is there a way to get this?

Please note that I am not asking "how can I make sriracha vodka?" or "where can I find sriracha beer?" or "what other sriracha products might my coworker enjoy?". It's my prezzie and I would like an unopened bottle of professionally-made sriracha-flavored liquor which is what I'm asking.

Thank you so much for any help you can provide!

Best answer: I don't think you're right about it being illegal to ship spirits to DC.
§ 25–772(b) allows up to one case per month to be shipped to you.

With that, consider calling some stores here to have it shipped. wine finder

I've had hard liquor shipped to D.C. multiple times in the past 5 years, so unless there's been a very recent change I believe it's still legal in DC proper.

Response by poster: Awesome, thank you! Just goes to show you shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet.

If anyone knows of a place that has it and will definitely ship it, I'd be grateful; I've called a couple of places that are listed as having it on the wine finder link and it's not actually in stock.

It looks like it's in stock here, but I didn't call. http://www.theliquorbarn.com/uv-sriracha-750ml/

Response by poster: They don't ship to DC unfortunately but I found somewhere from the wine finder that does and I just got a FedEx confirmation! Thank you all!
