easy spanish drinks recipes -
granizado de limón

Especially during Spain's sultry, summer months!

For this reason, Spanish bars and open-air markets often offer granizados up for sale.

So ... what are granizados?

They're icy-cold, semi-frozen drinks, which go down a treat under the hot, Spanish sun!

Sip the liquid nectar through a straw ... pause while the sun melts the drink a little more ... and repeat until finished!

You'll discover numerous flavours on offer, but - as Spain's beautifully blessed with an abundance of glorious citrus fruits - lemon and orange are especially popular.

The recipe below is for a lemon granizado - limes are just as nice though!

Very easy to make ... and extremely simple ingrediants ... what more could you ask except to be transported to Spain to enjoy it!
