Five-Ingredient Peach & Champagne Granita
Five-Ingredient Peach & Champagne Granita
Here’s the thing about granitas: you might recognize them as slushies or slurpees or shave ice. The nuances are small, but the most important thing to know about this granita is that it makes use of the freshest ingredients–in this case, delightfully ripe summer peaches. Oh yeah, and there's booze.Recipe courtesy of Blue Apron
