Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 lemons
  • 1 (750-ml) bottle Champagne or other sparkling white wine, cold

Directions

Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and place in the refrigerator until cold, about 1 hour.

Using the finest grater you have, lightly scrape the skin of 1 lemon, removing only the top surface of the peel. Squeeze out the juice and remove the seeds from both lemons.

Open the Champagne or sparkling wine, and pour it into a 9 by 12 by 2-inch pan. Mix in the simple syrup, lemon juice, and grated zest. Place mixture into the freezer. Check after 30 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, break up any ice formed on the sides and stir into the rest of the liquid. Continue to freeze and repeat this procedure every hour for at least 3 hours. Before serving, fluff the granita by "chopping" up any clumps with the spoon or gently whisking the frozen mixture. Spoon into small glasses or cups and serve.

    Best dessert EVER!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This was by far the easiest and best dessert I have ever made!!! I am now keeping a pan of it in my freezer at all times! I... have tried other juice flavors such as pomegranate, orange and even coconut - all very good. Thank you Bobby for yet another big hit!Read more

    Great Granita

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I tried this on Sunday. It was fast, easy and flavorful. I recommend using a good quality sparkling or champagne for a... smoother, elegant taste. Good as a palate cleanser or a crisp, light dessert. Everyone loved it.Read more
