Get Boozy and Slushy at the Same Time with This Rum Granita

The ice belongs in your drink, not outside your door.

It's officially spring, which means that we're one step closer to summer, which means that you have a perfectly reasonable excuse for making super-refreshing cocktails.

Time to whip out the coconut water, vanilla beans, white rum, and limes and make a balanced, refreshing granita that will make you forget how dark and brutal this winter was (at least for those of us living in the Northeast).

RECIPE: Rum and Coconut Granita

This recipe is courtesy of Gabriel Rucker, chef and owner of Le Pigeon in Portland, and is equal parts booze and slushy and perfect for the maiden voyage of your snowless balcony.
