A granizado is an icy beverage of Spain, Central and South America. It varies regionally. In Colombia it consists of crushed or shaved ice with semi-sweet milk, fruit syrup or chocolate syrup dripped on top. Granizado is also a slushee style beverage invented in central Mexico during the late 1970s as a response to popular American beverages such as Icee and Slurpee and the UK's Slush Puppie. In Colombian cuisine, granizados can be ordered with or without milk, and among various real fruit flavors blackberry is a popular choice.
