Aperol Spritz Granita
My obsession with Aperol continues with this delicious treat. This is the perfect boozy frozen adult pleasure. How could an Aperol Spritz in the form of adult shaved ice not be your favorite go-to beverage? Prosecco, Aperol, and lemon reign in this tasty treat, and it only gets better as the weather heats up. I have to say that I have never made a granita because every time I saw one on the recipe website it looked really complicated. Let me tell you that this is as easy to make as southern grits. Yes there is waiting involved and yes there is stirring involved but what of good quality has come easy? Waiting is the best part because, at the end of it, you have a lovely boozy adult shaved ice spiked with Aperol and Prosecco! Make this icy and sparkly Aperol spritz granita this weekend and your life will love you!
