(Granita di Agrumi e Campari)
Category: Italian Ices
Campari, a bright red aperitif, is usually drunk over ice or mixed with soda before a meal. For this granita, it is combined with citrus juice. The Campari has a pleasantly bitter edge that is very refreshing, and the granita has a beautiful rosy color.
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
3/4 cup campari
1 Place a 13 × 9 × 2-inch pan in the freezer to chill at least 15 minutes. Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Stir well. Remove from the heat and let cool. Chill the syrup.
2 Stir together the chilled syrup, juices, Campari, and orange zest.
3 Remove the chilled pan from the freezer and pour the mixture into the pan. Place the pan in the freezer for 30 minutes or until a 1-inch border of ice crystals forms around the edges. Stir the ice crystals into the center of the mixture. Return the pan to the freezer and continue freezing, stirring every 30 minutes, until all of the liquid is frozen, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Serve immediately, or scrape the mixture into a plastic container, cover, and store in the freezer up to 24 hours.
4 Remove from the freezer to soften about 15 minutes before serving, if necessary.
