There's something about Summer that calls for a fresh and easy dessert. That's why we partnered with Smirnoff for this post.
The next time you're hosting people for a Summer gathering, make dessert the easiest part of the meal thanks to this elevated granita. It's between an Italian ice and sorbet, filled with fresh fruit flavor and a bit of infused vodka [Link to SMIRNOFF Sourced]. With minimal effort, the dish comes together with help from your freezer, and then you can scoop it into pretty serving bowls. Top with lemon slices and mint sprigs for a really pretty finish to any meal.
