Grown-Up Granita image

This concoction feels granita-like to me, granita being - as you may know - a sort of slushy Italian dessert usually made from water, sugar and fruit or other flavorings. Obviously, this isn't that. In fact, I cheat completely, beginning with a pint of good-quality sorbet and then simply adding the other ingredients, two of which contain alcohol.
