Creamy eggnog meets bright orange and sweet vanilla in this festive holiday sip.

Ingredients:

Yield: 10 servings

20 oz Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Orange Juice

50 oz premade eggnog

5 oz vanilla syrup

Ice, as needed

10 MFC Orange slices, for garnish

Ground nutmeg, for an optional light dusting

Instructions:

Combine orange juice, premade eggnog, and vanilla syrup in a large pitcher or beverage container. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and fully incorporated. Refrigerate until well chilled. Stir the batch before service. For each drink, pour 7½ oz into a shaker with ice and shake until chilled and creamy. Strain over fresh ice or into a chilled glass. Garnish with an orange wheel and a light dusting of nutmeg.

Ingredients:

1 bunch Markon First Crop Asparagus, steamed

1/4 C Markon First Crop Basil

2 T Markon First Crop Chervil

2 T C Ready-Set-Serve Lemon Juice

2 cloves Ready-Set-Serve Peeled Garlic

1 tsp. lemon zest

1/4 tsp. cumin

1/4 tsp. coriander

1/4 C extra virgin olive oil

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

16 large shrimp, cleaned and threaded onto skewers to prevent curling

1 tsp. kosher salt

Olive oil + 2 cloves Ready-Set-Serve Peeled Garlic, for poaching

Edible petals and micro greens for garnish

Instructions:

Slice tips off asparagus and reserve. Add basil, chervil, one cup steamed asparagus stalks, lemon juice, zest, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper flakes, and oil to a food processor and blend until chunky.

Heat oil and garlic until just bubbling. Add shrimp skewers so that shrimp is fully submerged. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until shrimp is opaque and cooked through. When shrimp are almost cooked, add asparagus tips. Remove all with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack.

To plate, arrange tips in a decorative manner. Place shrimp next to asparagus and ladle sauce on top of each one. Garnish with edible petals and micro greens.
