It is enough, I think, that Campari exists, and that we can mix it with soda water and drink it. But the instant I saw this recipe in Jennifer McLagan&#8217;s excellent book\u00a0<i>Bitter<\/i>, I knew I had to make it, because the only thing better than straight-up Campari and soda (or a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Negroni\" target=\"_blank\">Negroni<\/a>, or an <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Americano_(cocktail)\" target=\"_blank\">Americano<\/a>, or a <a href=\"http:\/\/food52.com\/recipes\/23497-campari-shandy\" target=\"_blank\">shandy<\/a>), is Campari and orange or grapefruit juice and the smallest splash of lemon juice, frozen and forked to the texture of a snow cone and eaten with a spoon on a sticky July evening, while you make dinner. Or more succinctly, in the words of our friend Michael Riha: this stuff is great. Cheers.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n      <div class=\"recipe-list\">\n              <h3> For the orange version:\r<\/h3>                  <div class=\"ingredient\" itemprop=\"ingredients\">\n            1 cup (250 ml) freshly squeezed orange juice\r          <\/div>\n                  <div class=\"ingredient\" itemprop=\"ingredients\">\n            \u00bd cup (125 ml) Campari\r          <\/div>\n                  <div class=\"ingredient\" itemprop=\"ingredients\">\n            \u00bd teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice\r          <\/div>\n                      <h3> Or for the grapefruit version, which is more bitter, and which I prefer:\r<\/h3>                  <div class=\"ingredient\" itemprop=\"ingredients\">\n            1 cup (250 ml) freshly squeezed grapefruit juice\r          <\/div>\n                  <div class=\"ingredient\" itemprop=\"ingredients\">\n            \u00bd cup (125 ml) Campari\r          <\/div>\n                  <div class=\"ingredient\" itemprop=\"ingredients\">\n            2 tablespoons (25 grams) superfine or caster sugar\r          <\/div>\n                  <div class=\"ingredient\" itemprop=\"ingredients\">\n            \u00bd teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n  \n      <div itemprop=\"instructions\">\n      <p>Stir the juice, Campari, and lemon juice (and sugar, if using grapefruit juice) together.

I used a fork for the last stirring, to make the ice crystals finer and fluffier. It took about three hours for my granita to be fully frozen and to the right texture. If you forget to stir the mixture and it freezes solid, don\u2019t panic: just break it into chunks and pulse briefly in the food processor. To serve, spoon the granita into chilled glasses.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  \n      <p itemprop=\"yield\">Yield: 4 to 6 servings<\/p>\n  <\/section>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is our eighth wedding anniversary.
