It\u2019s unexpected but true that certain animal byproducts may be used in the processing of various alcohols, or as ingredients themselves. From milk to egg whites to fish bladder (yes, you read that right!), you\u2019ll see the list is long and unusual!&nbsp; Let\u2019s talk about what&nbsp; to watch out for when choosing your next drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ingredients-to-avoid\"><strong>Ingredients to avoid:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dairy (including milk, cream, whey, casein, lactose)<\/strong><br>Dairy products are sometimes added to liqueurs, cocktails, and other blended alcoholic drinks for a creamy, rich flavour.<br><br><strong>Honey<\/strong><br>Honey is sometimes used to sweeten cocktails.

Strange as it may sound, it\u2019s true. With advances in filtration technology, the use of isinglass has largely declined. However, just be aware that some craft breweries might still be using it.<br><br><strong>Gelatin<br><\/strong>Many people aren\u2019t aware that gelatin is derived from animal bones and cartilage. It\u2019s sometimes used as a fining agent in alcohol production, but the most obvious way to avoid it is to refrain from those jello shots!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"drinks-to-avoid\"><strong>Drinks to avoid:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to <strong>beer<\/strong>, avoid milk stouts, meads, honey beers, and cask ales as they contain some of the above ingredients.<br><br>When it comes to <strong>wine<\/strong>, avoid buying from the following brands as they are mostly non-vegan: Apothic, Barefoot Wine, Black Box Wines, Chateau Ste. Michelle, Franzia Wines, Sutter Homes, Robert Mondavi, and more. It\u2019s always best to do some quick research on the brand before buying.<br><br>When it comes to <strong>spirits<\/strong>, be careful with cocktails as they can contain dairy, eggs, or cream. These are some of the classic cocktails that are not vegan: Grasshoppers, Mudslides, Bailey\u2019s Irish Cream, Rumchata, White Russian, Eggnog, Whiskey Sour, and Gin Fizz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><strong>Having read this list, you might be feeling a bit taken aback. But worry not, there are many vegan-friendly beers, wines, and spirits that you can still enjoy!
