All about the Fuzzy Navel
The Fuzzy Navel is an extremely simple to make, two-ingredient cocktail made with peach schnapps and orange juice.
Sweet and fruity, with the sweetness of peach complemented by the tangy notes of orange juice.
The Fuzzy Navel was created in the United States in 1984, inspired by the Screwdriver cocktail, as part of a marketing campaign to launch a brand of peach liqueur.
- Fresh squeezed orange juice
When a drink has just two ingredients, there’s nowhere to hide. It’s all about the quality and freshness of your ingredients.Sure, store-bought orange juice is convenient, but nothing beats the taste of freshly squeezed orange juice. So, grab a citrus press and some oranges, and start squeezing!
- Hairy Navel
The Hairy Navel mixes things up by halving the peach schnapps and adding vodka. It’s a Screwdriver with a peachy twist! - Pierced Hairy Navel
The Pierced Hairy Navel is another cocktail mashup, blending the Sea Breeze with the Screwdriver. It mixes vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice, and cranberry juice, to create a perfect summer sipper.
- Use Peach Vodka
Substitute peach schnapps and go full-on peachy with peach-flavored vodka.
- Either a Collins glass or highball glass are perfect for a Fuzzy Navel as they’re tall enough to hold all the orange juice and ice cubes.
- We recommend garnishing this drink with a peach wedge.
- Other popular garnishes for a Fuzzy Navel are an orange wedge or a lemon wheel.
