Lazy Paloma: Easy and Delicious Cocktail Recipe

I heard a rumor that tequila was the only alcohol that actually helped you lose weight and not pack on pounds. I cannot vouch for the scientific validity in that rumor, but it’s true in my eyes. And since the Paloma includes diuretics with the grapefruit, it could help you shed some water weight in like a really unhealthy way. At least for the moment. Just imagine this elixir as the holy grail of drinks for those looking to reduce their calorie intake. Say goodbye to the rum and diet coke and say hello to the lazy paloma! Bottoms up!
