Limoncello Granita with Berries

One November many years ago I ventured to the seaside resort of Positano on the Amalfi Coast. There, in the early winter, the town was tame and tranquil. There were a few tourists about, but mainly the townsfolk had the place to themselves. As we wandered around the hilly village, I noticed that limoncello was practically everywhere. And because it was lemon season, it seemed a must to sample the town’s bounty. It was then and there that I fell for limoncello: lemonade with a kick!
