Spicy Strawberry & Cucumber Margarita Granita Recipe
Add some bite to this frozen boozy dessert with a few spoonfuls of jalapeno
A fresh and fun option; feel free to be a little heavy-handed with the tequila in this granita, after all, Christmas only comes around once a year. You will want to keep this recipe on hand throughout summer, as it’s the perfect way to cool down on a balmy evening.
