About
The Fuzzy Navel is one of the defining cocktails of the 1980s — a sweet, peachy, orange-scented drink that won over an entire generation with its approachability and its deeply evocative name. The 'fuzzy' refers to the peach fuzz of a fresh peach (represented by the peach schnapps), and the 'navel' is the navel orange whose juice makes up the rest of the drink. Originally conceived as a two-ingredient drink of just peach schnapps and OJ, the modern version often adds a splash of vodka for a slightly longer, more balanced cocktail. It tastes like a just-ripe peach dissolved in fresh orange juice — simple, delicious, and unapologetically fun.
Instructions
- Fill a rocks glass or highball glass with ice.
- Add vodka and peach schnapps.
- Pour orange juice over the top and stir gently to combine.
- Garnish with a peach slice or an orange wheel on the rim.
