Method

Place all the ingredients into a large jug and mix well with a long-handled spoon.
You then need to freeze the mixture which can take a few hours. First pour the mixture into a shallow container and place into the freezer for one hour. Mix the granita with a fork and place back into the freezer and freeze for a further hour. Continue this a couple more times or until the mixture is completely frozen. Once its frozen its ready to serve - scrape some the mixture out with a fork to form a fluffy iced mixture and place into a cocktail glass.
