Time 6h15m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup, plus 2 tablespoons, sugar
6 tablespoons water
1 pint ripe strawberries, hulled and sliced in thick rounds
1 tablespoon plus 4 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons thinly sliced mint leaves, plus 6 sprigs for garnish
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier (optional)
2 1/2 cups dry Champagne or other sparkling wine
1/2 cup fresh orange juice

Steps:

  • Mix the 3/4 cup of sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Let cool. Meanwhile, in a medium-size bowl, combine the berries, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, sliced mint and Grand Marnier, if using. Cover and let stand for at least 2 hours.
  • In a shallow nonreactive pan, combine the sugar syrup, Champagne, orange juice and 4 1/2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours.
  • To serve, scrape the granita with a fork into large crystals. Spoon into chilled martini or other wide-mouthed glasses. Surround with berries and garnish with mint. Serve immediately.
