Granita from cider and Calvados

4 servings

30 minutes

Granita made from cider and Calvados is a refined treat with the aroma of apple cider and a warm hint of Calvados. This refreshing dessert, originating from Italy, traces back to the Mediterranean granita tradition made from frozen fruit juices and syrups. Its flavor is a harmony of sweetness and tartness, where the lightness of cider blends with the depth of apple brandy. Granita is perfect for summer evenings, served as a standalone dessert or as a refreshing interlude in a gastronomic dinner. It stands well on its own but also pairs excellently with baked goods like almond cookies or airy sponge cakes. Each icy crystal of granita melts on the tongue, leaving a gentle sensation of coolness and aromatic delight.
