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?

Review

Fruity and edging towards the sweet side, tastes better than the name might suggest.

Not hairy enough.

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.

I adjusted the peach schnapps downward but what really made the difference was adding a dash of orange bitters and a dash of cranberry bitters.
