Boozy Berry Granitas

Boozy Berry Granitas. This post is intended for those 21+ years or older. 

2 small glasses of Boozy Berry Granitas garnished with mint. Glass carafe in background.
Granitas are pretty much an adult version of a snow cone and what’s not to love about that. This version is made up of freshly pureed strawberries and my bubbly beverage of choice – Prosecco. Hence the name boozy berry granitas. I’m very smart like that. They’re perfect for a lazy afternoon on the deck under the umbrella shopping on Amazon (is that only me?). Or for a get together with the girls, or just because. Really you don’t need a special occasion. I am just a social butterfly and company is nice. Especially when they bring more Prosecco. Ehem.

When my friends at The Wine Bar sent me a selection of whites (my preference well truthfully that’s unless I’m in Italy then I’m all about the reds but that’s another story for another day ) to try out. I gravitated to Stellina di Notte Prosecco. It’s a light, not too sweet, not too acidic sparkling wine that is imported from Italy (duh). It’s fantastic on its own or mixed in cocktails (or made into granitsa). Stellina di Notte means “little night star” in Italian. And now you know.

To make a granita it’s important that you start with CHILLED ingredients. If you’re of sound mind go ahead and pop the bottle into the fridge the night before along with your pureed strawberries. This way when you’re ready to mix everything up you don’t have to wait. Who has time for that?

Once you’ve served these up, get busy enjoying them. Otherwise you’ll need a few straws handy. And if you’re feeling crafty after you’ve made these granitas, check out my DIY chalkboard painted wine bottles (because I know you’ll have at least one bottle lying around).

    These would be perfect for an afternoon refreshment at the beach! One question though, directions say to place in fridge for 4 hours–I’m assuming it should be the freezer instead?

      Hi Debbie! Thanks so much for catching that! Yes it’s definitely freezer and I have edited to make that change!
