"buzzed babbo" cranberry cocktail
Granita, whether it's lemon, almond or coffee, bursts with the flavors of Italy. We first fell in love with it on a visit last year to Sicily where it's eaten all hours of the day, even for breakfast between a huge brioche roll. Well, if Sicilians can enjoy granita at 9 am,then surely we can at 5 pm!...Here's a holiday-inspired granita cocktail filled with the flavors of the season- cranberries, cinnamon and allspice. We named our summer version of this cocktail "Drunken Nonno." In honor of the Italian Santa, we're calling this one "Buzzed Babbo."
<br />Note: This recipe is actually quite easy to make, so don't be intimidated by the freezing process. An added bonus for entertaining: It can be made days ahead and kept frozen until guests arrive. (Inspired by Domenica Marchetti's Melon Granita in Rustic Italian).
