    🌎 Origin

    The fuzzy navel is a cocktail that is believed to have originated in the United States in the 1980s. The drink combines peach schnapps, and orange juice, typically served over ice in a highball glass.

    The exact origin of the fuzzy navel is not clear. t is thought to have been created by a bartender or mixologist looking to create a simple, fruity cocktail that would be easy to make and appeal to a wide range of drinkers.

    The name "fuzzy navel" is thought to have been inspired by the peach flavor of the schnapps and the orange juice, which, when combined, create a "fuzzy" appearance. "Navel" refers to the navel orange, which is a popular variety of orange used to make orange juice.

    🍹 Fuzzy Navel Cocktail Ingredients

    You only need two ingredients (and some ice) to make this wonderfully fruity cocktail. The fuzzy navel is proof that sometimes simple drinks taste the best!

    • Ice - Enough to fill a highball glass.
    • Peach Schnapps - 3 ounces of peach schnapps. A high-quality schnapps made with real peach juice is best.
    • Orange Juice - 3 ounces of orange juice with no pulp.
    • Orange Slice (optional) - Orange slice or wedge for garnish.

    🍸 How To Make A Fuzzy Navel Cocktail

    There are no fancy tools or bar tricks needed to make a fuzzy navel- just pour everything over ice and stir! All you need is a highball glass, a home bar kit or measuring utensils, a spoon to stir, and a sharp knife to prepare your garnishes.

    1. Ice. Fill a highball glass with ice.
    2. Add schnapps and juice. Pour 3 ounces of peach schnapps and 3 ounces of orange juice over the ice and stir once to combine.
    3. Serve. Garnish with a slice of orange if desired, and enjoy.

    A fuzzy navel is the perfect summertime cocktail, but it's still just as tasty year-round. If you're a fan of tart and fruity drinks, you're in for a real treat! Enjoy!

    🥂 Cocktail Tips & Variations

    • To make a great fuzzy navel, start with high-quality ingredients. I recommend using fresh orange juice and peach schnapps that is made with real fruit.
    • The classic recipe for a fuzzy navel calls for equal parts peach schnapps and orange juice. However, you can adjust the ratios to suit your taste. Some people prefer a stronger peach flavor, while others like a more orangey taste.
    • A fuzzy navel is best enjoyed cold. Make sure to serve it over plenty of ice!
