Finding gluten-free alcoholic beverages has become increasingly difficult.
From the ongoing debate about distilled alcohol being gluten-free or not, to the accidental mix-ups by a bartender, it’s a challenge to find a gluten-free alcohol that works for you and your gluten-free diet.
In this gluten-free alcohol list, you’ll find beers, hard ciders, vodkas, rums, tequilas and other hard liquors that are gluten-free.
Keep in mind that product ingredients and manufacturing processes can change, so it’s always good practice to double-check labels for gluten before consuming anything when you’re out and about.
And for peace of mind, consider keeping GluteGuard® on hand to bring that extra layer of protection against the symptoms of accidental gluten ingestion.*
This product should be used in conjunction with a gluten-free diet and is not a treatment for celiac disease. This product may not be right for you. Always read and follow the label.

Looking to avoid accidental gluten ingestion?
GluteGuard® can be helpful as an extra layer of protection against the symptoms of accidental gluten ingestion. Supported by clinical studies1,2, GluteGuard®'s enzyme, Caricain, helps to break down gluten before it interacts with the intestinal lining, helping to protect against the symptoms that would normally follow3. GluteGuard® must be used in conjunction with a gluten-free diet and before a meal.
This product may not be right for you. Always read and follow the label. The extent to which alcohol intake may influence the efficacy of caricain-based digestive enzymes has not been established.4
