Last summer when my son and I were constantly experimenting with granitas, ice creams, and fruit smoothies I came up with this fun adult version. It is very light and not overly sweet.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups sparkling wine
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 1/2 cups honeydew melon, roughly cubed
1/2 cup strawberry

Directions

1
Combine melon, strawberries, and lime juice in a blender. Blend until smooth and strain. Pour into a medium sauce pot with sugar. Heat until the sugar dissolves, no need to boil.
2
Remove from heat and add sparkling wine.
3
Pour into an 11x7 inch baking dish, cover and freeze for about 1 hour. Remove from freezer and scrape with a fork every 30-45 minutes. Repeat this process for about 4 hours, or until granita is light and fluffy.
4
Serve in a pretty glass of your choice with a sprig of mint.
5
Enjoy.
