Gluten is found in some cereals (e.g., wheat, rye, barley) and their end products. Wheat grown in countries with extreme weather conditions, such as Canada tends to have a higher gluten content than wheat grown in countries where the winter is milder. Wheat flour with a high gluten content is called "strong" flour, and is used for breads, whereas flour with a lower gluten content is called "soft" flour, and is used for cakes. No gluten is contained in rice (even glutinous rice), wild rice, maize (corn), millets, buckwheat, quinoa, or amaranth. Oats and teff do not contain gluten, but are sometimes grown directly adjacent to, and/or milled on the same equipment as, other grains that do contain gluten, and so are commonly contaminated. Non-cereals such as soybeans and sunflower seeds contain no gluten.
So what the hell is it doing in an alcoholic beverage?
by the way, the product i'm referring to is cougar bourbon and cola, and it might only be available in australia.

Crown Royal, which is a type of rye, has gluten in the mash that is used to make the actual liquor. I would imagine that even thought the quality of the alcohol in this premixed drink is no where near the quality of CR or even actual bourbon, (more just flavouring in premixes) the mash used to create the bourbon type alcohol is probably very similar. Hope that helps

I have had those before.
I believe the gluten helps to maintain the consistency of the blend.
A hand mixed drink tends to separate and you can't exactly shake the can because of the carbonation.

My daughter has CD, and can't drink Coke - my understanding is that it's because of the caramel colouring
