Chamoy sauce, traditionally a condiment from Mexico, brings a sweet, delicate heat to this watermelon and rosé granita. Quickly blended together, frozen and then shaved into serving bowls, it’s a perfectly refreshing, icy, fruity, low-alcohol cocktail to beat the heat.

Ingredients

Chamoy Sauce:
250 grams (9 ounces) apricot jam
50 millilitres (2 fluid ounce) fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons Chilli Flakes
1 teaspoon ancho chilli pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
Watermelon Granita:
675 grams (1 1/2 bags) cubed seedless watermelon
500 millilitres (17 fluid ounce) dry rosé wine
125 millilitres (4 fluid ounce) Chamoy Sauce (see above)
75 millilitres (3 fluid ounce) fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon Mild Chilli Powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
