Gluten Free Happy Hour

Being gluten-free doesn’t mean Happy Hour has to come to an end. Besides New Planet Gluten-Free Beer, there are other drinks you can enjoy without the Gluten. Take a look below for some examples of other gluten-free drinks.

As always, make sure to double check the drink label to be sure and please drink responsibly!

  • Armagnac – made from grapes
  • Bourbon – Makers Mark
  • Brandy- made from fruit
  • Champagne- made from fruit
  • Cider – fermented from apples or other fruits. Some are safe, however, many add barley for enzymes and flavor
    • Old Deadly Cider
  • Cognac – made from grapes
  • Gin- widely considered gluten-free due to the fact that it is distilled, but may cause issues for some
  • Grappa- most types
  • Kahlua- but not for those with a dairy free diet
  • Kirschwasser (cherry liqueur)
  • Margarita Mix:
    • Jose Cuervo.
