Frozen jalapeños + Sauvignon Blanc = TikTok’s hottest (and coolest) wine pairing
If your summer sipping routine needs a shakeup, the internet has an idea for you: meet the spicy Sauvy B. It’s a trending DIY drink made by adding frozen jalapeño slices to a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and it’s being dubbed the refreshing-meets-spicy wine combo of the season.
Also known as Jalapeño Sauvignon Blanc, this unlikely pairing is all over TikTok—where wine lovers and spice enthusiasts alike are giving it a spin. And whether you’re hosting a backyard hang or just looking for a new way to enjoy white wine, this one’s easy to try (and even easier to customize).
Why Is Spicy Sauvy B Trending?
Flavor Contrast
The crisp, citrusy notes of Sauvignon Blanc are known for their bright acidity and herbal undertones. Add in a frozen jalapeño slice or two, and you get a drink with layers of flavor—a little grassy, a little zingy, and now a little spicy.
Refreshing Appeal
Frozen jalapeños help keep your wine chilled and infuse it with heat—no cocktail shaker or mixology degree required. It’s the kind of no-fuss summer drink you can serve at a moment’s notice.

- Drop 1–3 frozen slices into your glass of wine (adjust to your heat preference)
- Sip & decide—hot trend or hard pass?
We Tried It at Misfits Market
Our team couldn’t resist testing this trend—and opinions were definitely split. Some loved the subtle heat and extra herbal kick it gave the wine. Others? Said they’d rather save their jalapeños for a margarita. Either way, it’s a low-lift drink experiment that’s worth a try (especially if you already have wine and peppers on hand).
