Granita is fabulous by itself or with a little whipped cream on top, or use the granita to top a scoop of vanilla ice cream; the combination of icy with creamy is dreamy.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup red and/or white wine, or flat beer
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • sweetened whipped cream for topping (otional)

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the wine(s) or beer, water, and sugar together, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Pour the mixture into a shallow baking dish and put it into the freezer until partially frozen. Use a fork to scrape and break the mixture into shards and crystals. Return the pan to the freezer to freeze completely. Scrape and toss the granita one more time. Keep frozen until serving. Serve in stemmed glasses, dolloped with whipped cream, if desired.
