The Predator Tells You If Your Drink Is Suitable for Vegetarians
It sounds completely unbelievable, but most booze is not vegan or even vegetarian, and many brands use animal products (like fish bubbles for filtering and beetles for coloring ) during processing. If it makes you distressing, breathe in and cool off. There are several ways to find a delicious drink that suits your lifestyle.
Food 52 has compiled a list of fifteen vegetarian / vegan brands and it’s a good place to start, but if you don’t find your brand there, head to Barnivore , a comprehensive vegan directory with over twenty thousand brands. Personally, I was happy to find Basil Hayden there; I wouldn’t want my vegetarian friends to miss out on the joy of this great bourbon.
