Shaved Ice Flavors: Watermelon
The most refreshing margarita style granita
Ingredients
- 6 cups cubed red seedless watermelon frozen*
- 2 limes peeled
- 1 orange peeled, seeded
- ¼ cup water
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons tequila
- 2 tablespoons cointreau or other orange flavored liqueur
Instructions
- To freeze watermelon place it in a single layer on a foil lined rimmed baking pan; freeze several hours until solid. (I usually just do this the night before or early in the day).
- Combine all ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth.
- Can be eaten right away which makes it more like a sorbet or pour mixture into a metal 8-inch pan and freeze until solid.
- Scrape with the tines of a fork and scoop into serving dishes. Garnish as desired.
