Are margarita's gluten free

Answer 1

Usually - Yes.

A margarita consists of tequila mixed with orange-flavoured liqueur and lime or lemon juice. Gluten is a protein composite found in foods processed from wheat and related grain species, including barley and rye. Unless a thickener containing gluten has been added to the liqueur or something besides the tequila, liqueur, and juice has been added to the drink, a margarita will contain no gluten.

Answer 2

Margaritas are definitely gluten-free.

The margarita is a cocktail consisting of tequila, triple sec and lime or lemon juice, often served with salt on the rim of the glass.

Gluten is a mixture of proteins found in wheat and related grains, including barley, rye, oats,and all their species and hybrids.

Obviously limes, lemons and salt are NOT grains and are not going to give you any potential for gluten.

Tequila is a specific name for a distilled beverage made from the blue agave plant - where the starchy heart of the plant is used to make the liquor - note: starch is NOT a protein.

Triple sec is an orange-flavoured liqueur made from the dried peels of bitter and sweet orange - again, note that we are not talking any kind of protein here.

Answer 3

In general, avoid the following foods unless they're labeled as gluten-free or made with corn, rice, soy or other gluten-free grain:
Beer, Breads, Cakes and pies, Candies, Cereals, Cookies and crackers, Croutons, French fries

A gluten-free diet is used to treat celiac disease. Gluten causes inflammation in the small intestines of people with celiac disease. Eating a gluten-free diet helps people with celiac disease control their signs and symptoms and prevent complications. It does not help you loose weight. Gluten is found in products made from wheat, barley and or rye.
