Mimosa Granita

1 cup juice from 3 medium oranges
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup sparkling wine
1 T lime juice

Whisk orange juice and sugar in large bowl until sugar dissolves.
Stir in wine and lime juice and pour mixture into 2 ice cube trays.
Freeze mixture until firm, at least 2 hours (can transfer frozen
cubes to zipper-lock plastic bags and freeze up to 1 week). Just
before serving, place single layer of frozen cubes in bowl of food
processor fitted with steel blade. Pulse 10 or 12 times or until no
large chunks of ice remain. Scoop crystals into individual bowls.
Repeat with remaining ice cubes and serve immediately.
