Man Woman believes that this summer is going to be a Good Summer. Just like the summer four years ago which the Brits keep referring to – and which we missed. In anticipation of this Good Summer, Man Woman have been road-testing some quick wins in the refreshing goodness department. This taste of summer iteration one is a libation to the sun gods which we expect they will appreciate.
Plus, dead easy.
Mango Mint Rum Granita
- 3 C mango puree
- 1 TBSP mint leaves finely sliced
- 30ml white rum
- 30ml lime juice
- 15ml lemon juice
Mix all of the above. Adjust rum and citrus juices to taste. We feel this doesn’t need any sweetening.
Put into as large a dish/plastic container as you can fit in your freezer. After 30 minutes, run a fork through the mix – the mix should be partly frozen at this point. Do again a couple more times until the mix is an icy granita awaiting consumption.
If you leave it too long and it freezes hard, just leave it out for as long as it returns to the appropriate level of slushiness.
Estimated cost: £2
Musical accompaniment: Paul Kelly, Roll on Summer, Roll On

That looks amazing. I love granita and have loads of mint.
