Five Gluten-Free Cocktails with Bombay Sapphire Gin

Celiac.com 07/23/2021 - Even with a clear statement by the FDA that all distilled alcohol is gluten-free, we still get a lot of questions about alcohol, and cocktails. Specifically, which brands of alcohol and cocktails are gluten-free. 

We especially get a lot of questions about gluten-free cocktails with Bombay Sapphire gin. Remember, unless gluten ingredients are added after distillation, all gin is gluten-free, so these recipes can also apply to other gin brands.
