Mojito granita

With the warm weather, I have been thinking more and more about granitas. I made a meyer lemon and Campari granita that was quite nice, as well as the standard granita di caffe (yum). I have a few ripe avocados that must become guacamole, so I bought a bag of limes, more than I need, but limes are good to have around. I was going to have margaritas, but I am out of tequila and will not have a chance to get to Beverages and More where they stock the brand that I like, so I decided to make mojito granita. This is a pre-trial recipe, so be warned. I might change it at after trying it:

Make a strong limeade with lime juice, sugar, water, finely chopped lime zest and finely chopped mint leaves. Allow to freeze in a loaf pan, stirring every hour or half hour, so that you have large crystals instead of a large block of ice. Serve with a splash of rum and a dollop of whipped cream. I will be trying this tomorrow and will report.
