    Prosecco Lemon Ginger Granita - A seriously refreshing boozy dessert - perfect for a hot summers day.

    So I may have been slightly drunk when I took these photos.

    Just being honest here.....

    A hot sunny day, the BBQ was out and I was testing out those prosecco popsicles and photographing (aka sampling) a Dark & Stormy or two. In my slightly tiddly (at that point) state, I decided it would be a great idea to mix the leftover prosecco with the spicy ginger beer from the cocktail.
    A second cocktail would probably have worked, but granita sounded so much more refreshing!

    And it was.Prosecco Lemon and Ginger Sorbet. A seriously refreshing boozy dessert - perfect for a hot summers day.

    Perfect frozen flakes of spicy citrussy fizz (try saying that when you've had a couple of these).
    Eaten in the garden in the blazing hot sun it was pure bliss. Especially when it started to melt a little and turned into a prosecco slushy.

    So, coming back to the photos. Sorry they're not the greatest 🙂

    I took about 500 before nearly falling off the mini step ladder, so I had to stop at that point.

    I was considering making some more so I could photograph it again. But it's so tasty, I think I might end up falling into the same trap......

      this looks amazing ! Plus I looove proseco. But I again don't even know what ginger beer is. is that like ginger ale ? Can it be substituted with ginger ale ?

      I have to make a trip to the UK to get a stock of all of those amazing ingredient we don't have in france (mince meat, ginger beer, can cherry fillings) !

        Thanks Saz 🙂
        Yes, it's like ginger ale (as in the non-alcoholic fizzy drink). The spicier versions of it work better than the sweet versions though.
        Do they sell Pimento in France? that would be a good choice if you can't get hold of Old Jamaica.
        I know what you mean about having difficulty getting hold of things. I see so many American recipes I like the look of, and then I can never find at least a couple of the ingredients 🙂
