Is Rum Punch gluten-free? Are any other frozen drinks safe?

[Jenbirds]

Does anyone know if the famous "rum punch" is gluten-free? Are there any frozen drinks that are gluten-free?

 

I believe Bailey's is NOT gluten-free, so that squashes my hopes of a great frozen drink I enjoyed in '04 (Bailey's, bananas, cream of coconut, pineapple juice, ice).

 

Any gluten-free input is greatly appreciated!

Jennifer, most rum punches are made of several different types of rum, pineapple juice, lime juice, orange juice, grenadine. While rum is usually gluten free,you'll need to check to see if flavored rums are used that have any additives or dyes. But if the rum punch is made traditionally, you shouldn't have an issue.

After retracting the initial response I received from Baileys corporate, here is the final word I received on Baileys (much to the joy of my recipe list).

I have cruised Carnival 4 times g/f and my favorite drink is the funship special, which is pretty close to rum punch. Personally I never had a reaction. Glad to hear that Bailey's is g/f there was a time that it wasn't. =o)
