VODKA BERRIES
GRANITA

Although the flavors differ, rum can be used in place of vodka for the
mixed berry granita.
Vodka Berries: Rinse berries and drain well. Layer strawberries and
raspberries in a 2-quart glass jar. Top with orange slices and
blackberries. Pour vodka over berries until fruit is covered, then cover
the jar. Save the empty vodka bottle. Let berries macerate in vodka for
three to six days. Strain the berries from the vodka, then pour vodka back
into the saved bottle.
For the granita: Puree berries and strain through a fine mesh strainer.
Pour strained berry juice into large measuring cup. Measure the juice,
then add an equal amount of water. Pour into bowl. Whisk in sugar to taste,
at least 1+1/4 cup, and stir until dissolved. Pour into a baking pan
measuring 9 by 13 by 2 inches and place in freezer until ice crystals form,
about 30 minutes. Use a fork to break up frozen crystals. Continue freezing
and stirring every 30 to 45 minutes until mixture is completely frozen and
ice crystals are uniform in size. Scoop crystals into goblet and garnish
with mint or extra berries. Serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.
