Margarita Granita

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring, until sugar has dissolved, about 1 minute.

2. 2

   Remove from heat.

3. 3

   Stir in lime zest and juice, tequila, orange juice, and salt.

4. 4

   Pour mixture into a 2-quart shallow nonreactive baking dish; let cool, then cover tightly with plastic wrap.

5. 5

   Freeze until set, about 6 hours (or up to 1 day).

6. 6

   Using the tines of a fork, scrape mixture until flakes form.

7. 7

   Granita is best served immediately, but can be covered and frozen up to several hours.

8. 8

   Serve with lime wedges, if desired.

9. 9

   Chilling the dish in the freezer before pouring in the lime mixture will help the granita freeze faster.

10. 10

    Spoon granita into salt-rimmed glasses, cocktail style: Rub rims with a lime wedge (or dip in water), then dip in a shallow bowl of coarse salt.
