Servings: 8 glasses
- 3 cups prosecco
- 2 cups Aperol
- 1 cup water
- 3 oranges juiced (about ¾–1 cup juice)
- Orange slices for serving
In a large shallow dish or rimmed sheet pan, combine the prosecco, Aperol, water, and fresh orange juice. Stir gently to mix.
Transfer the dish to the freezer and freeze for about 4 hours, until mostly set.
Use a fork to scrape the frozen mixture, breaking it up into light, fluffy granita crystals.
If not serving immediately, return the granita to the freezer and scrape again just before serving to refresh the texture.
Spoon the granita into shallow bowls or cocktail glasses and garnish with orange slices.
