Liquers

[Guest lorlyn]

Can any one tell me if these liquers are gluten free. Grand Marnia(sp), kahlua, triple sec, Frangelica?

Thanks

Here is one list of what is safe:

In my pocket Clan Thompson guide, the following are shown as gluten-free: Disaronno; Drambuie; Kahlua, Kahlua Vanilla, Kahlua Hazelnut, from Pernod Ricard (ummm, I haven't tried the second two -- yum); Newport Blue Curacao, Amaretto, Peppermint Schnapps, Sloe Gin, Green Creme de Menthe, from Boisset America; Paul Masson Creme Liquer (chocolate hazelnut or mocha caramel -- hmm, I wonder if they are casein-free?); St. George Aqua Perfecta Raspberry Liquor and Pear Liquor (yum once again). Of course, others could be gluten-free, too. They just list the ones they've checked. Nothing is shown that has gluten.

Frankly, I haven't heard anywhere of any liquers containing gluten. If you have a favorite, you can always contact the manufacturer to make sure. Cheers!

.....Kahlua, Kahlua Vanilla, Kahlua Hazelnut... (ummm, I haven't tried the second two -- yum).....Cheers!

h,

My Dad and I went to the Dallas Home and Garden Show last month and there was a Kahlua booth. It was a pretty nice one too, large with palm trees and sofas, like a tropical lounge. They were making a drink that had Kahlua (of course), cream (I think it was half & half), a little chocolate syrup, and ice. Blended in a mixer.

I was unsure if I should have one as I wasn't entirely sure what was in it and whether it was gluten-free or not. I haven't purposely had any gluten since going gluten-free and am reluctant to blow my record, so to speak. After some observation & consideration I decided it was probably OK. Good decision. It was really tasty. "Yum" as you would say.

My wife rarely drinks, but she will have an occasional Kahlua & cream. I've bought a number of coffee liquer Kahlua wannabes, mostly they're not as good, some are terrible. Thus the price difference I guess.

best regards, lm

Often the manufacturer's web site will have information that is not listed on the bottle. Also a general google search on the name brand and the word "ingredients" will get you some useful information to help determine if a product is safe.

Because sometimes a person just needs some Kahlua in their coffee .

I thought that we could NOT have Bailey's Irish Cream.

[Lawrence]

Grand Marnier and Bailey's Irish cream are gluten free. I just looked up Grand Marnier and on the FAQ section of their website it says they are gluten-free. I haven't tried Bailey's after being diagnosed with Celiac Disease but it is supposedly ok according to some people around here and a webite or two.

Here is the response from Bailey's:

Q 4. I am allergic to Gluten/Egg/Lactose/Nuts. Does Baileys contain Gluten/Egg/Lactose/Nuts

A. Gluten: Please be advised that the whiskey used in Baileys is manufactured by fermenting grain, which contains gluten. Due to the presence of gluten in the whiskey components before distillation we cannot absolutely guarantee that there are no effects to coeliacs. As we are not qualified to give medical advice persons requiring a gluten-free diet must consult their medical adviser before consuming Baileys.

we cannot absolutely guarantee

What they can guarantee is that their @$$ is securely covered by this disclaimer. In my opinion, that's all it is: a CYA statement.

The only liquer I have seen with gluten is the Key Lime one used in Key Lime martinis. It has graham cracker in it.

I would always make it a point before trying a new drink in a bar to ask the bartender to read the bottles ... not when they're busy, of course. At one bar, the margarita mix they used had gluten.
