Cheers to Our Farmers and the Return of Eggnog Season!

WITH GRATITUDE TO OUR SUPPLYING DAIRY FARMERS

At Straus Family Creamery, everything begins with our farmers. Our organic milk comes from a constellation of small-scale family farms, each with an average herd size of just 330 cows, all located within 15 miles of our Creamery in Sonoma County. We’re deeply grateful for this community of farmers who not only supply the fresh, organic milk that gives Straus products their distinctly delicious taste, but also share our commitment to thoughtful land stewardship and animal welfare.

This season, we raise a glass to all of the farmers, past and present, with whom we’ve had the privilege to work!

Earlier this year, content creator Michael Ligier stopped by our Creamery for the full Straus experience—hanging out with founder Albert Straus and touring two of our supplying dairies, Tresch Family Farms and Correia Family Dairy. His video is a vibrant, up-close look at the people and places behind our products. Watch Michael’s visit here.

EGGNOG SEASON IS THE BEST SEASON

It’s back! Every year, our fans count down the days until our premium Organic Eggnog returns. Rich, creamy, and just the right hint of sweetness, it’s fabulous on its own—served chilled or warmed. (Spike optional, joy guaranteed). Minimally processed; no gums, stabilizers, thickeners, or artificial ingredients—ever.

If you want to get creative, we are delighted to share two eggnog cocktail recipes. First is local favorite Griffo Distillery’s twist on the classic “White Russian” cocktail with The Big Lenogski, their cheeky Sonoma County take on The Dude’s favorite beverage. Next is the Eggnog Mudslide, created by Ana Ramirez-Lee, Straus’ Marketing Coordinator. A lush, velvety blend of Straus eggnog, chocolate milk and fresh whipped cream, this alcohol-free indulgence is a winter dessert in a glass. Cozy, creamy, and irresistibly festive.

THE BIG LENOGSKI

Ingredients – Serves 1

1 oz Griffo Vodka

1 oz Griffo Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur

.5 oz FloraLuna cardamom clove syrup

4 oz Straus Family Creamery Egg Nog

Nutmeg, for garnish

Directions
Pour all ingredients into a double rocks glass over a large cube. Stir to combine. Garnish with grated nutmeg. Enjoy in your favorite sweater.

EGGNOG MUDSLIDE MOCKTAIL

Ingredients – Serves 1

¼ cup Straus Organic Heavy Whipping Cream

1 tsp powdered sugar

Splash of vanilla (optional)

½ cup Straus Organic Eggnog

¼ cup Straus Organic Heavy Whipping Cream

½ cup Straus Organic Chocolate Milk

1 tbsp chocolate sauce

½ tsp vanilla extract

Small pinch of salt

Cocoa powder to sprinkle on top

Ice (about 1 cup)

Directions
Whip Straus Organic Heavy Whipping Cream with powdered sugar and vanilla, if using, until soft peaks form. Set aside. Drizzle chocolate sauce inside a chilled glass so it streaks the sides. In a blender, combine the eggnog, heavy whipping cream, chocolate milk, chocolate sauce, vanilla extract, and ice. Blend until smooth, creamy, and milkshake-like. Pour into the prepared glass and top with fresh whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder. Optional add-ins that we love include a splash of cold brew or a dusting of nutmeg or cinnamon.
