Pink Grapefruit, Strawberry, and Champagne Granita with Sugared Strawberries
Use a Microplane grater or the smallest holes on a box grater to remove the lemon peel in thin, fine pieces. Any delicate buttery cookies — such as pirouettes, small shortbreads, or tender madeleines — would be delicious with the granita.
