Gluten free gin options

This post is intended for my patients who need guidance on how to drink responsibly.

Gin is a drink that dates back centuries, and it was originally used for medicinal purposes. Gin can have any base spirit, and as long as juniper is included, it’s gin. Juniper berries offer a lot of health benefits, but it’s the fact that they can be fermented and made into gin that makes them such a popular choice! Gin is created by distilling the typical grains that contain gluten like barley, rye, and wheat. The distillation process should remove the offending proteins, and people with a gluten sensitivity or those avoiding it should be fine. However, some people who have a gluten sensitivity notice a reaction after drinking gin, as if they ingested gluten. Not every person with a gluten sensitivity reacts to gin, so it’s a case-by-case basis. If you’re one of these people who had a reaction to gin, or if you want to be extra careful, there are gins made without gluten-containing grains that you can enjoy without worry.

I compiled some of the gins that claim to be gluten free, or use something other than “grains” as a neutral spirit.
