Squeezing in just one more dessert recipe before 2019! I know I said I was going to try not to post until next year, but this Champagne Granita couldn’t wait. It’s simple and just the thing to have in your glass for ringing in the New Year (though I can see many occasions where it would be appropriate, like Valentine’s Day!). You’ll want to grab a bottle of extra dry champagne for today’s recipe. I normally wouldn’t enjoy a dry bottle of champagne, but you’ll stir it into a homemade simple syrup which brightens and sweetens the flavor. It’s dangerous, I could finish a whole bottle of champagne myself this way.

What is a Granita?

A granita is simply a slushy-like, semi-frozen treat. It’s typically made with simple syrup (sugar that’s been dissolved into an equal amount of water) and other flavorings. I’ve made a Peach Sangria version and a Strawberry Margarita version in the past, but granitas aren’t always made with alcohol!

Well I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and has a great New Year, and I’ll see you in 2019! Enjoy!
