Is spicy rosé the new summer drink? Wine lovers are going crazy for the TikTok trend of infusing your glass with sliced jalapeño peppers
- People are garnishing their glasses of wine with sliced jalapeños this summer
- After a woman posted a video of the clever hack on TikTok, people copied her tip
- The spiciness of the peppers is thought to cut through the sweet undertones of rosé
There’s nothing like a chilled glass of wine on a hot summer’s day – for many, it’s the perfect treat.
But some people start raising their drinks to add a little spice after a woman on TikTok started a new trend.
In a video on the platform, a woman named Allyssa filmed herself chopping a jalapeno chili before dropping a few slices into a bottle of rosé.
Then she put the bottle in her backpack and headed out for a day at the beach.
In a later video, Allyssa, who often posts quick and easy recipes, filmed herself toasting Monday with a glass of “spicy rosé.”
In response, people who have watched Allyssa’s videos have been inspired by her creativity and vowed to try “spicy rosé” for themselves.
One person said, “I took jalepenos to a BYOB restaurant last night and my coworkers put them in their drinks.”
Another wrote: ‘Allyssa. I tried this today!!! It’s so damn good!!! Jalapeño in rose for life!!! Thank you.’
While Allyssa’s spicy rosé isn’t necessarily a new idea, she seems to have started a trend for many people.

The pungency and spice of the jalapenos are thought to break up the sweet, citrusy undertones of the wine.
As the jalapeno is in the drink, it starts to set, meaning the spice becomes more prominent.
Southern living magazine also recommended adding a few ice cubes to your glass and also gave tips on how to increase the strength of the herb.
Especially by putting the slices of jalapeno in the glass first and pouring the wine in the second, the taste becomes more intense.
You can also turn your spicy rosé into a spritzer by adding some sparkling water for an extra kick.
