This Italian granita, similar to a fruit ice, is a light and refreshing treat that's a delightful treat in the summer heat. Cranberry granita is made with cranberry juice mixed with sugar, lime juice, and a splash of vodka. Unlike classic homemade ice cream, this dessert is convenient because it doesn't require an ice cream maker. The basic principle is to scrape the granita with a fork every hour while freezing, allowing it to harden into a snow-like mass. The flavor of cranberry granita is invigorating, vibrant, and balanced. Serve garnished with fresh cranberries.
