Directions

Make simple syrup. In saucepan, heat 6 ounces of water with 1/3 c. of granulated or fine sugar until sugar is dissolved. Do not boil. Set aside to cool.
In a freezer safe 8x8 or 9x7 container, mix gin, simple syrup and tonic water.
Zest lime and lemon. Then squeeze both. Add to mixture. Stir to incorporate.
Place uncovered container in freezer. After 1-2 hours and as it is just starting to freeze, take a fork and gently scrape to mix. Return to freezer.
Repeat process every 1 - 2 hours ensuring each time to mix and scrape with a fork to "fluff" the ice. The granita is ready once it is the texture of flaked snow.
Cover granita and keep frozen until ready to serve.
Scoop into bowls or glasses. Garnish as desired with additional zest, mint or berries.
