Looking for a low calorie treat? Make this Strawberry Lemonade Granita with Canada Dry TEN. This is a sponsored post.
Recently, while shopping at Tom Thumb, I came across the TEN drinks — 7 Up Ten, Sunkist Ten, A&W Ten or Canada Dry Ten. Nate does not like any kind of diet soft drink, but.after trying Canada Dry TEN, he really liked it! Â It’s my favorite, too!
During the summer, I like to make frozen treats with drinks we have around the house. Since we’re trying to be healthier, I decided to try making a fun summer frozen treat using Canada Dry TEN — Strawberry Lemonade Granita. I’ve seen granitas made with prosecco, which is a bubbly champagne like drink, so I thought using Canada Dry TEN would make a nice non-alcoholic substitute.
Granita is very easy to make. It’s like a sorbet, made with fruit or fruit juices, but it’s made by hand in a metal dish. The liquid is poured into a shallow metal dish, such as a deep cookie sheet, and then frozen. At times, the granita is stirred or scraped with a fork to break up the ice crystals as they form. After a few hours, the end result is a flaky, granular frozen treat. The texture is like a snow cone.
This granita is delicious! It comes together with just the right amount of sweet and tart. It’s a great low-calorie ending to a hot summer night!
