Easy Gluten Free Alcohol List: Because Sometimes You Just Want To Party!

Gluten Free Alcohol List: 
Because Sometimes You Just Want To Party!

So you are all Gluten Free and feeling great and now  now you want to go out for a few drinks or to a party. Which brings up the question. Now what can you drink? Well do not worry, I have searched high and low and I have the info for you. A few things to consider are US labeling laws prohibit beverages that use cereal grains at any point in the manufacturing process from advertising themselves as 'gluten-free.

Unless gluten is added after distillation, all distilled alcohols are free of gluten. But still some people have a problem with anything that is not labeled Gluten Free.

  So, when you do see a 'gluten-free' label on a distilled beverage, it means that no gluten ingredients have been used at any point in the production process.  Always Check Labels and I always follow the saying, “When In Doubt Leave It OUT!” So Personally I will be very careful with spirits that are not labeled “Gluten Free”. This guide is meant to help you but if you are unsure check ingredients and call the manufacturer or do not drink it. Have FUN!!!
