How to Make a Spicy Sauvignon Blanc Spritz!

This Spicy Sauvignon Blanc Spritz is a crisp summer cocktail with a bit of a jalapeño kick! It has everything I love: white wine, fresh lime, a touch of sweetness, and just enough heat from the jalapeños. I even added Bonfire Bitters for extra spice! 🌶️☀️

Perfect Presentation Platters

These cocktails look pretty in just about any glass, but here are some of our favorites! You can also check out our Amazon storefront for hundreds of amazing products.

Glasses: I used these Stemless Glasses from Walmart that are a great deal! If you prefer wine glasses with a stem, this 4-pack of Long-Stem Glasses from Walmart is beautiful and only $20.

Checkered Serving Boards: I used my Mackenzie-Childs check-chop board for both function and decor, which also comes in large. These are definitely investment pieces, but you can also check out a $30 version from Amazon or this heavy-duty version (also from Amazon!)

Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are this checkered chopping board, my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.

Can I Prep This in Advance?

Since you’ll want to serve these Spicy Sauvignon Blanc Spritzes immediately after making them, we wouldn’t recommend making them far in advance. However, you could slide the jalapeño wheels 1-2 days in advance to save time! Simply store in a Ziploc bag or Tupperware container in the fridge.

Storing Leftovers

If you have any leftover cocktails, discard down the drain. Feel free to save any leftover jalapeños, basil, or cucumber slices and store in a a Ziploc bag or Tupperware container in the fridge.
