Cooking Tips

• For a more intense flavor, you can reduce the Chardonnay on the stovetop before adding it to the blender.
• If you prefer a sweeter granita, you can adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste.
• To speed up the freezing process, you can use a metal baking dish instead of a shallow dish.

Storage and Serving

• Store any leftover granita in an airtight container in the freezer.
• Before serving again, let the granita sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
• Serve the granita in chilled glasses for the best texture and presentation.
