AUTHENTIC SICILIAN GRANITA AL LIMONE
Lemon granita is one of my favorite things about Sicily. It's easy to make at home if a trip to the island isn't possible. Using Meyer lemons, which tend to be sweeter than regular lemons, helps replicate the flavor of authentic Sicilian lemons. Serve as an after-dinner refresher or afternoon pick-me-up. And for a nice twist, add a small scoop to your iced tea, like they do in Sicily.

Steps:
- Pour water and sugar into a saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring until sugar melts; do not bring to a boil. Remove from heat when the sugar has completely dissolved and the water is no longer cloudy. Add lemon juice and stir until combined. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
- Pour into a freezer-safe dish that has a tight lid. Cover and put into the freezer until it begins to freeze around the edges, but is still slushy in the center, about 45 minutes.
- Lightly stir the crystals from the edge of the granita mixture into the center using a fork and mix thoroughly. Replace the lid. Close the freezer and chill until granita is nearly frozen, 30 to 40 more minutes.
- Mix lightly with a fork as before, scraping the crystals loose. Repeat freezing and stirring with the fork 3 to 4 times until crystals are separate and the granita is light, dry, and fluffy.
- Serve each portion with 1/2 of a lemon wheel and fresh lemon zest on top.

5 ITALIAN COCKTAILS PERFECT FOR APERITIVO - GREAT ITALIAN CHEFS
From greatitalianchefs.com
- Negroni. by GIC Kitchen. Arguably Italy’s most famous cocktail, the negroni oozes sophistication. It’s also incredibly simple to make – equal parts gin, Campari and red vermouth poured over ice with an orange garnish.
- Hugo. by GIC Kitchen. Despite the simplicity of this cocktail it’s only been around since 2005, when South Tyrolean bartender Roland Gruber combined a shot of lemon balm syrup in a wine glass and topped it up with tonic water and Prosecco.
- Americano. by GIC Kitchen. The negroni might get all the attention in the world of Italian cocktails, but it would never have existed without the americano, invented in the 1860s.
- Peach bellini. by Valeria Necchio. If there’s one thing you simply have to sip on when visiting Venice, it’s a bellini. Created at the legendary Harry’s Bar in the city in 1945, it’s named after the Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini thanks to the cocktail’s rosy pink colour (something which featured heavily in his art).
- Aperol spritz. by GIC Kitchen. By far the most commonly ordered cocktail during any aperitivo, the Aperol spritz is to Italian summer what Pimm’s is to British summer.
