While I generally order my Margaritas on the rocks with salt, if I’m going to have one frozen – bring me a spoon please.  Today is National Margarita Day, too great a Post op to pass on (ha!). 

I decided this would be a chance to make my first Granita.  The Granita originated in Italy and can vary in texture and flavor throughout regions depending on the ingredients and freezing method.  I’ve seen some lovely Granita recipes on the pages of fellow food lovers.  And have been taking notes of the ones I will try when the warm weather comes back around…flavors such as Wild Strawberry, Cucumber Mint, and Pink Grapefruit come to mind and I absolutely can not wait to make a Mojito Granita.  However for today, on her special day, we’ll enjoy Margarita Granita style.
