History:

Cranberry juice was in its ascendency in the mid-late 1980s when both the Fuzzy Navel (peach schnapps and orange juice) and the Hairy Navel (peach schnapps, orange juice and vodka) where among the most popular 1980s cocktails, so, not surprising, somebody added cranberry juice (and/or cranberry schnapps) to each of these cocktails, so 'piercing' them. Hence, you can have both a Pierced Fuzzy Navel (without vodka) and a Pierced Hairy Navel with vodka. Why settle for mere fuzzy when you can have full-on hairy?

This was pretty good. Fairly peach-forward and refreshing. The sweetness of your orange juice will be a big determining factor as to how sweet the cocktail ends up. Mine was perfectly balanced. Will definitely put it in the summer rotation.
