Preparation
- Step 1
In a saucepan over medium heat, bring honey, lemon juice and 1 cup water to a boil, whisking until honey dissolves. Remove from heat and whisk in zest and gin. Pour mixture into a shallow dish. Freeze for 1 hour, then stir with a fork. Freeze for 40 minutes more, then rake with fork, repeating every 40 minutes until granita is icy and slushy (about 3 hours total). Serve in cocktail glasses.

It freezes if you give it enough time. Not like a American Slushy but almost like little panes of glass. Putting the glasses you’ll serve it in in in the freezer helps it not melt so quickly. We thought it was a perfect summer time drink.
Lemon zest? Do you grate the lemon skin or remove slices with a potato peeler and then mince it?
This doesn’t freeze
I think a granita should be grainy and slushy. I don’t think the gin will allow it to freeze.
