What Drinks To Order?

[Sunrise85]

Hey all! Just curious if anyone suggests a good drink to order when going out. I've been sticking to wine or tequila shots... scared to try something new. I was thinking maybe margaritas and mojitos are safe? what about martinis etc?

Thanks!

Most people think that all distilled alcohols are safe unless a flavor, color or additive has been added - However others disagree and it is a personal choice.

Stay away from beer, whiskey, bourbon and anything colored or flavored.

Wine, sherry, port, rum and tequila are all pretty safe. Some but not all vodkas are made with wheat - apparently smirnoff red label vodka is made with corn - again all this goes back to the distilled alcohol question.

I mostly stick to wine

Hope this helps

Smirnoff Red Lable (triple distilled) all of my gluten-free family members have had....and none of us had a reaction to it. I usually add lemonade, sprite, cranberry, OJ to it. I have to check if sunny-d is gluten-free because it's so much nicer on my stomach than regular OJ. The acid kills me!

I drink Jameson Irish Whiskey on the rocks and have not had a problem. There is a potato vodka my mom drinks (I can't rememer the name...I think it's Polish) but when I go out, I get Grey Goose with some sort of natural juice. I have done some research and Jose Cuervo coupled with the Jose Cuervo maragarita mix is gluten-free but I haven't asked around at the local bars to see who carries it.

I drink pretty much everything without a gluten reaction, but I did react weirdly to alcohol when I was first healing.

I have yet to find a mixer with gluten in it, and I like my girly drinks, so I've investigated. The only things I've found which were suspect were margarita mixes and slushy drink mixes, so I tend to avoid those unless its made from whole fruit. I also avoid Dole and Tropicana juices, as the companies have stated that not all their facilites are gluten-free, and I've reacted very badly to both. Pucker is gluten-free, so have a gluten-free martini! Chopin and Blue Ice are potato vodkas that I see in bars a lot (be warned Chopin is more expensive than most) and I tend to order martini's with those vodkas, mostly cause I find potato vodka to be nummier than wheat vodka. I stay away from all well drinks because of possible contamination issues..and..ew.

Cider is a delicious choice as well, though I avoid tapped cider cause its right next to the beer generally. Ace, StrongBow, Woodchuck and gluten-free, among others. Not all cider is gluten-free though, so be careful. Wyders test as gluten-free, but there could be CC issues, as its made in a place that makes beer.

Keep an eye out for Green's beer, its a new Belgian gluten-free beer (I've seen in restaurants in NY, and at Bevmo here in the Bay area). Its really, really good.

Bacardi & Pepsi (or Coke), Martini made with Smirnoff Red Label, or Smirnoff with Cranberry juice, Pomegranate juice, or 7up, Margarita with Jose Cuervo Tradicional or Cazadores Reposado Tequila (any 100% agave), Kahlua on the rocks (or White Russian - again with Smirnoff), Disaronno Originale Amaretto on the rocks (or with juice). If they serve gluten-free beer try Redbridge.

Great Martini: 3 oz Smirnoff - 3 oz Pomegranate cocktail - 1 oz Cointreau - 1 oz Rose's Lime Juice - add ice, shake, pour and enjoy (makes 2) Enjoy!
