I would have no first hand knowledge--7 years too young, lol, but I think I've read somewhere that it's not gluten-free.

[mytummyhurts]

Can you list the ingredients? That helps us that do not consume the product to help you.

Here is the reply I received from Mike's Hard Lemonade.

Thank you for taking the time to contact mike's hard lemonade. Mike's products available in the US are lemon clear malt based ( fermented barley beer malt) beverages. In independent lab analysis mike's products do not contain any traces of gluten protein, however, our products are bottled in multiple sites that produce other malt beverages. We cannot guarantee complete absence of gluten contamination from other products run on the same equipment.

Take care, and keep on enjoying the good things in life,
Sincerely,

Beats me how it could be a femented barly beer malt and not have gluten unless they distill it. Sounds too risky for me.

Yeah, I wouldn't drink it from what they said.

[jenvan]

yeah, that sounded strange... i am bummed, just cked out bailey's irish cream and trying to see if it is gluten-free. they said basically, probably is, but it might not be. arg! does anywhere here drink it still?

[lovegrov]

Bailey's is doing the CYA dance. It's gluten-free. I know a number of people who drink it.

Mike's is made with barley malt -- I wouldn't touch it.

sweet on bailey's. i figured it was a cya. i e-mailed to make sure my schnap's is gluten-free too so i can still make my favorite drink-buttery nipples !

[swittenauer]

So what can you have, if anything, as far as alcoholic beverages? I would assume it would be wine but what else?

[2old4]

Kahlua & Amarula are gluten-free.

[lovegrov]

Because of the distilling process, virtually every liquor is gluten-free.

I love to have a Mike's Hard Lemonade on a hot day, any concerns I should have????

I just had two of them and I felt fine*. I believe they are distilled so it should be safe enough.

*UPDATE: Actually I'm not so sure I felt fine... sometimes it's hard to tell.

the alcohol in one of the ingredients is gluten free due to distillation (if it's not corn derived), but the barley malt is added after the fact, which makes it unsafe.

[tiffjake]

Mikes is NOT gluten free. It has Barley Malt, and if I didn't think that made it unsafe, then I would just ask my stomach the last time I had one. 1/2 way through it I was running to the bathroom. I didn't even KNOW it was a Malt beverage. So for me, not safe. But I see that there is debate out there....

[blueeyedmanda]

Malt products are not gluten-free. Sorry, I miss hard lemonade too.
