Champagne Granita with Smoked Trout Appetizer Recipe (photograph)





Are you looking for an elegant
First Course Champagne Granita Appetizer
... 
why not try this granita ...  
it is very tasty and a beautiful entree to serve, 
your guests will love to behold this on their plate and dig in to enjoy it.
This is a good choice for a special offering on Christmas Eve or New Years Eve.
You could serve the champagne granita only, if you desire too, 
as a granita sorbet course and 
serve the smoked trout separately for an appetizer course as your guests arrive.
This is delicious!
