A few weeks ago, Lily and I got together in her L.A. apartment to make and shoot this refreshing summer granita. We had a great time playing in the kitchen and visiting. It turns out Lily and I have a lot in common and it was great to connect and chat about our eerily similar childhoods, teaching yoga, finding purpose, grief and so much more. Lily is one of those people who is easy to love. She’s genuine, honest, bright and passionate and I’m so glad we got to spend time together. If you haven’t seen her blog, be sure to check it out.
If you’ve never made a granita before you’re missing out. They’re super easy to make and so fun and refreshing. This one is no exception. The cantaloupe, cardamom and lime are a great combo with the added benefit of being extra cooling for these hot summer days. Enjoy!

How beautiful!
I love cantaloupe melon and now that you can find so many of them at the farmer’s market is about time to prepare this delicious and refreshing treat. It looks so beautifully served in that glass! 🙂

Mmmm enjoy!
Looks so refreshing🍸When the weather warms up here in Australia (in the middle of Winter) I’m definitely making this!
I cannot get enough of your photos!! This flavor combination sounds wonderful and it’s so hot these days I could go for some granita right now! 🙂
Yay! That makes me so happy!
Sasha, it was such an joy to spend a day with you, shooting, laughing, styling, playing. I’m so excited for our next moment to connect and collaborate! Hooray for granita!
