Recipe of the Week - Boozy Watermelon Lime Granita

/

This Boozy Watermelon Lime Granita is part cocktail, part dessert. The perfect, frozen adult treat for hot summer days.

Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 cups cubed seedless watermelon

  • 1 lime, juiced

  • 2/3 cup white rum

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 6 small watermelon wedges, for garnish

  • mint leaves, for garnish

Directions

  • Place the watermelon, lime juice, rum and sugar in a blender and process until smooth, then pour the puree into a 9 x 9 metal baking pan.

  • Freeze for about 1 1/2 hours, then using a fork, give it a good scrape to mix everything around.

  • Return the pan to the freezer and freeze until almost set, for about 1 to 2 hours. Use a fork to scrape the granita to form chunky snow-like ice crystals.

  • Freeze and repeat occasional scraping until the entire mixture is frozen and shaved.

  • Serve in martini glasses and garnish with watermelon wedges and mint.

  • Store, covered in plastic wrap, until ready to serve.
