Are there alternative versions of Green Tea Shot that are definitely safe for celiac disease?

A celiac-safe version can be made with gluten-free peach schnapps, Jameson Irish Whiskey (which is gluten-free), and fresh sour mix. You can also make it with naturally gluten-free spirits like vodka or tequila instead of whiskey.
