Today we’re making a Pear Champagne Granita to ring in the New Year! It’s a simple and fun way to turn your celebratory bubbles into something memorable without adding much work. Pear liqueur and bitters give it a grown-up edge, but it’s just as easy to make non-alcoholic. This recipe is great for hosting. Just be sure to give it enough time in the freezer. Hope you all enjoy this one. Cheers, and Happy New Year!
