Forget the spritz. This refreshing granita is yet another way to use up that bottle of Aperol. This recipe, from Balena in Chicago, freezes Aperol with gelatin, grapefruit and orange juices. At that restaurant, it tops a grapefruit sundae, but you can have it on its own, on a warm summer day.

Time 25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 4

13 grams (about 5 1/2 sheets) sheet gelatin, preferably silver strength (available at Fairway and other markets)
28 ounces Aperol
16 ounces grapefruit juice
6 ounces orange juice

Steps:

  • Fill a wide flat pan or bowl with ice water, and add the gelatin sheets one at a time. Allow them to sit for about 5 minutes; they should be very flexible but remain intact. Meanwhile, pour the Aperol into a medium saucepan, bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.
  • Lift gelatin sheets from the water, allowing excess water to drain off. Transfer sheets to the hot Aperol, and stir until they dissolve completely. Stir in the citrus juices, and pour into a metal 9-by-12-inch pan, or other wide metal pan that will fit into a freezer.
  • Place pan in freezer until mixture is completely solid, about 4 hours. To serve, scrape the surface with a fork so the mixture breaks into large flakes. Scoop mounds of the granita into small chilled dishes, and serve at once.
