Sour cherries, known as “vissino”, hold a special place in Greek sweets and desserts. Our sour cherry and vermouth granita is inspired by a cocktail we had in Greece one summer. As soon as we drank it, we knew we had to turn it into a granita. You’ll find the sour cherry syrup and juice in specialty food stores. The granita is perfect enjoyed on its own – ideally on a warm summer’s day with good company.

We won’t be surprised if our ouzo and citrus sorbet becomes a favourite too. When we tested it with a bunch of friends, everyone loved it.
