Frozé Watermelon Granita Cocktail Recipe

1 bottle Santa Margherita Sparkling Rosé
1 quart watermelon-rosemary sorbet (store bought or recipe below)
2 cups diced, seedless watermelon

Spoon a scoop of sorbet into the bottom of a chilled glass and top with a tablespoon or so of the watermelon cubes. Pour the Santa Margherita Sparkling Rosé over the sorbet and melon. Garnish with mint. Serve immediately with a silver spoon.

OPTION

Purchase sorbet from a gourmet market instead of making your own.

TO MAKE WATERMELON SORBET

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup water
3 sprigs of rosemary
3 pounds seedless watermelon cut into cubes (about 10 cups)
1/2 cup lime juice
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons tequila

In a small saucepan bring the sugar, water, and rosemary to a boil. Remove it from the heat and let it cool to room temperature, then strain. Combine the rosemary syrup, watermelon, lime juice, and tequila in a blender and process until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and refrigerate overnight. Freeze the sorbet “granita-style” by putting it in the freezer and stirring every hour for five hours.
