Oysters

Champagne Lemon Granita

Method

Prepare the Granita

1

Make the Granita Mixture

In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2

Combine Ingredients

Add the champagne, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest to the syrup mixture. Stir well to combine.

3

Freeze the Mixture

Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, use a fork to scrape and fluff the mixture until it is fully frozen and has a granita texture, about 3-4 hours.

Serve the Oysters

4

Shuck the Oysters

Carefully shuck the fresh oysters, placing them on a serving platter with their liquor intact.

5

Add Granita

Spoon a small amount of the champagne lemon granita onto each oyster just before serving.

6

Garnish and Serve

Garnish with additional lemon zest if desired and serve immediately.
