I’ve been on a granita kick, you might have noticed. Maybe just maybe, I’ve saved the best one for last.
Lemons Aid is as much about southern summers, picnics in the park, and any one fruit I can think of,except Watermelon. Yeah, I got a recipe for Watermelon Granitas…but I’m saving it until Watermelons are actually in season here in Kentucky. The watermelons have just gotten their first true leaves since my return from Charleston South Carolina….so it’s going to be awhile.
If you love lemon aid Lemon Ice Granitas are for you. With just a zing of acidity, these cool refreshments are just the ticket to beat the summer heat. I’m munching and crunching one right now. I might have added just a hint of cherry moonshine over the top…or maybe not. You know I have many friends who think moonshine is an urban myth. Let’s leave it at that. Giggles

Nathalee Dupree suggests garnishing with a sprig of lemon balm or lemon thyme. She’s a smart cookie!

I live in a barn and cook up a storm. I am not a debutante. I have hot flashes. I garden in red high heels. I like fat rascals, tea, and bourbon. Welcome to Friends Drift Inn!
