6. Tequila

This is a very interesting alcoholic drink in terms of how it is made, it’s flavour and it’s gluten content. If tequila is made the traditional way with a blue agave plant it is naturally gluten-free, but cheaper brands tend to have gluten in their tequila products. Its flavour is delicious, but you’ll probably need to go for a more authentic brand if you want good flavour and no gluten content. Leading brands of tequila without gluten are 1519 Tequila, 1800 Tequila, Hornitos, Caba Wabo and Cazadores. Now you can enjoy those shots of tequila without the worry that it might have gluten.

7. Martini

Martini’s are one of the most popular forms of cocktails at bars and restaurants for their invigorating flavour and distinct taste. But how about the gluten content? Well, martini’s can be served in diverse ways, some twist, some dirty, some on the rocks, some on their own, but it all comes down to the type of vodka or gin that is used. Since most vodkas are gluten-free and gins are not, then the martini could be or could not be one of the alcoholic gluten free drinks. It’s safer to check the ingredients or ask what brand they have used and whether it’s gluten-free before you go ahead and drink it just to be on the safe side!
