Tasting Notes

This Frozen Jalapeño Sauvignon Blanc drink keeps it simple with a crisp glass of sauvignon blanc, but the frozen jalapeño slices give it a subtle kick that builds as you sip. The wine stays light and refreshing, with the pepper adding just enough heat to make it interesting without overwhelming the flavor. It’s fresh, dry, and just a little spicy, perfect for someone who wants a classic glass of wine with a fun twist.

Equipment and Glassware

You don’t need much here just a sharp knife for slicing the jalapeño and a tray or plate to freeze the slices. A chilled wine glass makes a big difference in keeping the drink cool without watering it down. A simple stemmed wine glass is the best pick, and if you’re feeling fancy, a white wine glass with a narrow bowl helps keep the aromas in place.

Ingredients

• 1 glass chilled sauvignon blanc
• 3–4 coin-sized slices of fresh jalapeño (frozen)

Instructions

• Slice a fresh jalapeño into thin coins and freeze them in a single layer until solid (about 2–3 hours).
• Place a wine glass in the freezer for a few minutes to chill.
• Add the frozen jalapeño slices to the glass. Pour in the chilled sauvignon blanc.
• Let it sit for a minute or two to allow the flavor to infuse before sipping.

Pro Tips

• Use fresh jalapeños with bright green color and smooth skin for the best flavor.
• Thin slices freeze faster and infuse more evenly.
• Always taste a small piece first to check the heat level—some peppers are spicier than others.
• Don’t overdo it; even a few slices can add plenty of kick.
• For a milder version, remove the seeds before freezing. Want to up the presentation? Float a single frozen jalapeño slice as a garnish.

When to Serve

This Frozen Jalapeño Sauvignon Blanc is a great choice for warm afternoons, casual dinner parties, or a quick happy hour at home. It works well with light snacks like chips and guac, seafood, or fresh salads. The spicy twist makes it fun to serve at BBQs or spicy food nights, and it’s a simple way to surprise guests with something just a little different than the usual glass of wine.

Which Liquor Brands to Choose

• Pick a sauvignon blanc that’s crisp and citrus-forward something from New Zealand or California works great.
• Look for bottles with notes of lime, grapefruit, or green apple.
• Choose fresh jalapeños with firm skin and no blemishes.
• Organic is a bonus if you’re leaving the skin on.
• No need to use a fancy bottle of wine just something clean and refreshing that plays well with a bit of heat.
