What local restaurant is serving this fresh, icy dessert?


A granita is a semifrozen dessert — related to gelato, sorbet and Italian ice — but requiring a more complicated preparation technique; to achieve the more coarse, Sicilian-style crystals, fresh juices are frozen but with frequent agitation and scraping to create separated crystals. A granita is not flavored ice but frozen juices or coffee or even wine.

In the case of this granita trio, the colors are a good indication of the flavors: the pink icy concoction is made with watermelon, fresh grated ginger, and lime juice; the green granulated ice is made with honeydew melon, mint and honey; the pale peach-colored granita is composed of pureed cantaloupe and lemon juice.
