Just 4 ingredients and a few minutes of your time are all you need to make this deeply refreshing dessert. We pair the pureed grapes with grappa - an Italian brandy made from the skins, seeds, and stems of grapes left over after winemaking (Italians are not ones to waste anything!). We like that it helps keep the dessert all about grapes. The alcohol in the grappa helps to keep the granita from freezing into a rock solid, instead making it pleasantly slushy.
