Strawberry Moscato Granita

It’s Friday which means only one thing – Cocktail Friday!

I’ve been crushing on Moscato lately.  It is just sooo delish I can’t help myself, not to mention it is super versatile.  Moscato can effortlessly be used to create a ton of simply amazing cocktails. Crisp, refreshing and addicting I always have a few bottles in my pantry, a few bottles in my fridge and a few bottles in my home bar, hey I’m a Moscato gal at heart.   Recently I made a cucumber cooler with Moscato which was all the rave with my sisters’, before that I made a dreamy moscato cake with fresh berries which my mom enjoyed so much I had to make it twice that week.

This time Summer evenings were on my mind. Sticky, humid Texas Summer nights where only a cold beer or a triple scoop ice cream cone can ease the pain. What about a boozy granite, a two in one.  A frosty cocktail that quenches your thirst while keeping you chill on an otherwise sticky evening.

Hello Granita!

A granita made with fresh strawberries, lemon juice and Gallo Family Vineyards Red Moscato wine is the just what the doctor ordered this Cocktail Friday.  Enjoy ~

    This looks utterly refreshing and now even in North Dakota we’re enjoying warm summer nights! Hard to believe right?!
