Fruit Granits

All manner of Summer Fruit Beverages which have been given in this chapter, or which will be given, may be served as Granits, by simply freezing them.

A Granit is only half frozen, the thought being to make it resemble snow-frosted water; it must always be sufficiently liquid to admit of being poured out into glasses and passed around to guests. The liquid may also be frozen in a freezer, but the Creoles cling to the old-fashioned water jugs.

Granits are favorite Drinks in France, the custom having been adopted from the Italians, who served them under the name of “Granitii.”
