There is nothing quite like a chilled glass of wine on a hot summer’s day – for many, it is the perfect treat.

But some people are starting to elevate their beverages to add a little touch of spice after a woman on TikTok started a new trend.

In a video on the platform, A woman called Allyssa filmed herself chopping a jalapeno chilli before dropping a few slices into a flask of rosé.

Then she popped the flask into her rucksack and headed off for a day out at the beach.

Kicking off the weekend 🙌

In a later video, Allyssa, who often posts quick and easy recipes, filmed herself toasting to Monday with a glass of ‘spicy rosé’.

In response, people who have watched Allyssa’s videos are inspired by her creativity and have vowed to try out ‘spicy rosé’ for themselves.

One person said: ‘Brought jalepenos to a BYOB restaurant last night and got my coworkers putting 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 appears to have started a trend for lots of people.

It is thought the sharpness and spice of the jalapenos cuts through the sweet, citrus undertones of the wine.

As the jalapeno sits in the drink, it starts to infuse meaning the spice becomes more prominent.

Southern Living magazine recommended also adding a few ice cubes to your glass, and also offered tips on how to increase the strength of the spice.

In particular, putting the jalapeno slices into the glass first, and pouring the wine in second, makes the flavour more intense.

You could also turn your spicy rosé into a spritzer by adding some sparkling water for an extra kick.
