Recipe ingredients and notes:

Aioli was originally an emulsion of just olive oil and garlic. Over time, the definition of the sauce has broadened and it now includes flavored garlic mayonnaise sauces, such as this one.

The recipe here is made with mayonnaise, garlic, unseasoned rice vinegar and sweet chili sauce.
