By ltrodrigu

Ingredients

• 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1 cup freshly squeezed grape-fruit juice
• 1/2 cup Aperol
• 1/2 cup vanilla sugar or regular sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon orange bitters or more to taste
• Finely grated orange zest, for garnish (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Place all ingredients in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Cover dish with plastic wrap and place in freezer. Use a fork to stir mixture every 30 minutes, scraping edges and breaking up any ice chunks, until granita is frozen, about 3 hours total.

To serve, scoop granita into chilled serving glasses. Garnish with orange zest, if desired.
