Our pink grapefruit granita recipe is everything you want out of a refreshing summer cocktail—and more! We combined ruby red grapefruit with whipped cream vodka to create the perfect marriage of sweet and tart. We’re in love with the unique flavor!

There’s nothing to this recipe—simply combine the ingredients and make sure the sugar dissolves completely. We boiled the water and sugar in the test kitchen to ensure the mixture combined without a hitch, but you can just as easily nuke the sugar and water for a minute or two.

Place the mixture in the freezer overnight then scrape the contents into serving glasses when you’re ready to serve! We garnished our pink grapefruit granita with a spring of mint for a pop of color but it’s certainly not necessary—we’re just all about the presentation!
