Adult Citrus SoCal Shake- Hold the Gluten

 Gluten In Alcohol!?!?! 
Here is the deal: In the old days, vodka was made with potatoes, which is great for Celiac Disease sufferers, but these days, most vodka is made from grain... like wheat. That is a NO NO! I am constantly hearing about people ending up suffering and they cannot figure out why. So I ask them to list what they had recently. More often than not, a ladies night with a cocktail or two and they are down and out. Please remember folks: Anything made from wheat, barley, or rye is NOT gluten free. These are most beers and many alcohols! So today I am introducing Tito's Vodka. Distilled six times, very tasty, best vodka I have had. 

Now, I am not a big specialist or anything. This Vodka adapts to any flavor. A friend and I were out at a beverage store in Southern California and there was a "Vodka Specialist" there that day. I did not even know there was such a thing. So I asked her: "So what do you think is a great Vodka? Grey Goose?" I asked. 
She scoffed at me and said that the French should stop making Vodka. Her choice: "Tito's, best Vodka around here." 
Sold. She told us that you can make Tito's any flavor at home, we followed directions and added peeled cucumbers to a jar along with the vodka. We froze it for 2 weeks and tada! 
Cucumber Vodka without all the syrups and sugars added. Tastes amazing!
