Coffee Granitas

I think spring made a guest appearance and then summer blazed in and sent her two stepping. Blazing as in it’s already been in the 90’s in my neck of the Southern woods.  Which means, if there isn’t rain coming down, my rag top is down, shades are on and my crazy convertible hair (how do “those” girls keep perfect convertible hair anyway?) is flying all over the place.

When I get home I’m always looking for something COLD to enjoy. Like a granita. A caffeinated coffee granita tops that list. What’a granita you ask? It’s pretty much an adult version of a sno-cone.  They’re super easy to make and that gives you an excuse (as if we need one) to enjoy coffee without the heat.

As a crazed coffee lover I’m all about spreading the coffee love every which way I can. Our coffee of choice? Lavazza! Lavazza has been around for 100 years and is Italy’s #1 brand of coffee. We’re thrilled to be a Lavazza Passionista and hope you’ll consider (if you haven’t already) trying out one of their four specialty drip coffee blends – Gran Aroma, Classico, Gran Selezions and Perfetto.

You can make the granitas up in the morning and they’ll be ready for you when your mid afternoon evening craving kicks in. Just be sure you sweeten the coffee while it’s hot so that it combines. If you like yours sweeter add more sugar, like yours less sweet (who are you) then pull back. It’s all up to you. Matter of fact, if you’d like to booze it up a splash of Bailey’s on here is also faboosh.

    That looks awesome! I usually drink my coffee with just cream, but sweet coffee is always great. Will have to try this!

    I am a coffee lover so you are speaking my language and making it into a granita, even more delicious for the summer heat! I’ve never tried that coffee brand before but now I MUST get my hands on some!

    I’m just about to die over that gorgeous photo with the coffee bag! I want it on my kitchen wall above the coffee maker! Love this dessert!

    If you figure out how to keep your hair sane in the convertible, you need to clue me in. Mine immediately goes into a ponytail. It’s still chilly up this way, but I’m bookmarking this for when it finally warms up. You know I love my coffee!

    Love Lavazza coffee – use to use all the time for our espresso. Haven’t made a granita and am not sure why. Your recipe is so easy sounding …. things need to change around here!
