Pink Hibiscus Infused Vodka over a Lychee and Lime Granita
This is one heck of a sundowner and it is a recipe I created completely off chance as I had a bowl of leftover Lychee and Lime Granita sitting idle in the freezer. This cocktail oozes with style as you carry out a tray of Granita filled glasses and pour your cocktail over it with a final flourish of soda water. From that day on I keep an ample quantity of Granita ready for lavishing on my cocktails whenever the urge arises!
- 250 ml lychee juice
- Juice of 6 limes
- 100ml water
- 1 shot of cranberry flavour vodka, or plain vodka will do
- 3 slices lime
- 100 ml soda water
- For the Granita
- Mix all the ingredients together and pour in a shallow tray
- Place in the freezer and every 2-3 hours, take a fork and scrape the frozen mixture, breaking it down into ice crystals. Freeze again and repeat this scraping stage at least 2 more times.
- Bringing the Cocktail together.
- Place the frozen granita in some wide martini glasses or old fashioned classic wide mouth champagne glasses.
- Place the lime slices over the granita.
- Pour over the vodka and two tots of the Hibiscus infused iced tea.
- Now quickly pour over a dash of the soda water and serve up with style!
