Beat the heat with this refreshing summer time treat. Eat it as dessert or use it as ice in a simple beverage with sparking water. Replace watermelon with your favourite fruit. And skip the alcohol if you wish.
Place all ingredients in blender and puree until smooth.
Pour into a 9 x 13" baking pan or glass dish.
Freeze for 3 hours, stirring and scraping ice crystals from the side of the pan every 60 minutes.
To serve, rest on counter for about 5 minutes then scoop into individual serving dishes and enjoy! Or make a refreshing beverage by putting granita in a glass and pouring sparkling water over top.
For a finer texture, put the frozen mix in the blender and pulse several times to make small ice pieces (not liquid) return to freezer and scrape after 60 minutes.
Notes
If you choose not to use the alcohol, it may be a little more difficult to scrape the mix, but as long as you scrape frequently it will work just fine.
