History

The Fuzzy Navel, a mix of peach schappes and orange juice, was named by an adverting agency in 1984 as part of a campaign to support the US launch of De Kuyper Original Peachtree. "Fuzzy" in the name refers to the peach schnapps while "navel" refers to the orange variety of the juice. Given the rise of vodka at the time (Absolut launched in 1980), it was only a matter of time before someone added vodka to the mix, upgrading this cocktail from being merely being "Fluzzy" to "Hairy". The next logical development was to add another popular product at the time, cranberry juice, to make a Pierced Navel cocktail.

This is one of those drinks that's hard to really comment on because so many of us have made it and there's not a lot to say. It's peach-forward and the quality of the overall drink is heavily determined by the quality of your orange juice.

I usually trim down the peach schnapps to 20ml for my own tastes, as I prefer the orange juice to be a little more involved, but again, it heavily depends on quality of oranges. And mine are often sad.

It's a great cocktail to break out when you've friends over and need to use up that bottle of peach schnapps that has been hiding in the back of the bar!
