We're celebrating Friday AND the official first day of summer the best way-with a fun, delicious cocktail. We wanted to share this skinny paloma recipe. It's easy to make, refreshing and has just the right amount of heat. You can use store bought grapefruit and lime juice to save time, but we recommend using fresh squeezed grapefruits and limes. If you like extra heat you can also rim your glasses with a chili salt. This is the perfect summer drink in our opinion and we love how it doesn't have any extra added sugar. Cheers to the weekend and sweet summertime!
