Sweet-tart frozen grapes rolled in lime sugar deliver a refreshing, easy snack—perfect for summer gatherings.

# Components:

# Directions:

02 - Thread 5 to 6 grapes on each skewer or cocktail stick.
03 - Place grape-filled skewers in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • When you bite into a frozen grape skewer, the cold burst and zesty lime make every mouthful feel like a surprise summer treat.
  • People can never guess how easy it is to whip up, and it always disappears first at casual gatherings.
02 -
  • If grapes aren’t fully dry before freezing, the sugar coating becomes patchy and falls off.
  • Rubbing the lime zest into the sugar with your hands is what gives the mix its amazing aroma—don’t skip this step.
03 -
  • Always lay the skewers flat and spaced apart to freeze, otherwise grapes clump and won’t coat evenly.
  • The secret is mixing the zest into sugar by hand—don’t just stir, really rub.
