Zazà works with classic flavours including almond and mint in their regularly changing granitas throughout the summer season. Ask for a dash of whipped cream on top for an extra touch of luxury. They currently have three stores around London, and they’re opening at Bluewater soon, too, as their granita empire continues to grow.

This creative ice cream-making outfit offers unusual varieties of granita, changing seasonally. The intense, fragrant flavours include lychee granita with liquorice ice cream, plus tamarind and tequila, watermelon and rose, cherry negroni, blackberry and rose geranium, espresso, elderflower, mint and lemon, bergamot lemon tea, and almond milk. At the moment, you can only find them at markets like Street Feast in Dalston and London Farmers’ Market in Marylebone or by booking them for events, but they’re opening their first shop in the near future.
