Juicy red grapefruit brings complex flavor to this sparkly granita. For best results when making this frozen dessert, look for grapefruits that are firm, smooth, and heavy for their size.
Tip: To supreme grapefruit, use a sharp paring knife to slice off the stem end and opposite end of the fruit. Standing the fruit on the stem end, slice away the peel and pith in vertical strips following the curve of the fruit. Holding the peeled fruit over a bowl to catch juices, slice each segment of fruit away from the membranes on either side. Lift out each segment.
