1. Classic Eggnog

Here’s how to make the perfect rich and creamy eggnog every time, thanks to our friends at Delish:

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups milk

• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon, plus more for garnish

• 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

• 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

• 6 large egg yolks

• 1/2 c. granulated sugar

• 1 c. heavy cream

• Whipped cream for serving

DIRECTIONS

1. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla, and slowly bring the mixture to a low boil.

2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar until yolks are pale in color. Slowly add hot milk mixture to egg yolks in batches to temper the eggs and whisk until combined.

3. Return mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat until slightly thick (and coats the back of a spoon) but does not boil.(If using a candy thermometer, the mixture should reach 160°.)

4. When ready to serve, garnish with whipped cream and cinnamon.

4. Rosemary Citrus Spritzer

Thanks to Emily Han from The Kitchn for this refreshing beverage! In-season oranges give the right amount of tartness. This is so easy to make before a holiday party.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 lemons

• 2 oranges

• 4 4-inch sprigs of fresh rosemary

• 3/4 cup sugar

• 1/4 cup honey

• Ice

• Soda water

• Rosemary and lemon for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. Peel off thick strips of zest from 1 lemon.

2. Juice the lemons and oranges into a liquid measuring cup – you should have about 1 cup of juice. Top off with water if necessary to make 1 cup.

3. Combine zest, juice, rosemary, sugar, and honey in a saucepan over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugars.

4. Remove from heat and let sit 10 minutes. Strain, discard solids, and let the syrup cool completely.

5. To serve, fill an 8-ounce glass halfway with ice cubes, add 2-3 tablespoons syrup, fill with soda water, and stir. Garnish with rosemary sprigs and/or lemon slices, if desired.
