Title: UV Vodka, Smirnoff & Mike's Hard Lemonade
Post by: Princess Cheese on October 28, 2011, 12:17:41 PM
Has anyone with PA/TNA drank either of these safely before?

Not PA, but I will say that if you e-mail the Mike's company on their website, they have really great customer service when I asked them about potential allergens.

We use plain smirnoff vodka to make homemade vanilla.

I have all three on a regular basis :hiding: with no problems. I'm PA only.  UV is actually my favorite vodka, and they make this blue raspberry lemonade pre-mixed drink that's awesome.

I've had a mystery reaction while drinking Smirnoff, called and they said no nuts (PN or TN) or sesame.  I've had mikes without issue.  I'd say 90% of my alcoholic consumption is split between these two companies, but really dont drink that often.

I do Smirnoff. The vanilla vodka is so yummy with coke.

I'm really wanting to try the UV Cherry and the Smirnoff Green Apple drinks.. I'm almost 27 and have had like 3 alcoholic drinks... wine coolers.  Lol.  Seriously, 3.

ha, aw, I remember two years ago being in the same place. I don't like the taste of alcohol, it reminds me of hospitals, and I can't stand beer so it took FOREVER for me to find stuff I like.  Then I found my current group of friends and it's been downhill from there.  :evil:

I think we've determined in the past that most wines are ok for PA/TNA unless you have sulfite problems or they're labelled as having a nutty taste.

Smirnoff Ice and the Green Apple flavor have never given me allergy problems, but smirnoff in general gives me a headache sometimes (and not hangover headache, I can drink half a bottle of ketel one and be just fine).  Like I said, PA only, so YMMV.  BUT! Stay away from Russian vodkas, I hear they distill with tree nuts sometimes.  Stoli is ok (at least for me) but I'd avoid anything else Russian sounding.

Isn't Smirnoff Russian?

Smirnoff called me back and said no nuts or shellfish :)
