Granita: Gin and Tonic

Now you can have your gin and tonic and eat it too!

That’s right! I turned one of my regular cocktails into a granita.

This isn’t the first time either, remember this sangria version? Same concept: combine your ingredients, add to a metal pan and freeze while periodically scraping with a fork. SO unfussy and the reliable after dinner treat.

But the question still remains: icy adult beverage? Or boozy dessert?

For this Gin and Tonic Granita Set out:

• lime zest
• lime juice
• gin
• tonic water

Grate in the zest of 1 lime or about 1 tablespoon.

To that, pour in 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice.

Lastly pour in 10 ounces tonic water…

And 1/3 cup dry gin.

Give it all stop and pour it into a metal pan. I’m using a 9 inch cake pan.

Slip this into your freezer for 1 hour.

Remove, it should be slightly slushy, and fluff it with a fork.

Slide it back into the freezer for another hour and repeat the scraping with the fork.

Freeze over night or enjoy!

Cool and icy, refreshing and boozy. This g & t granita is a summer must!
