Fuzzy navel
(Redirected from Fuzzy Navel)
[edit | edit source]
The Fuzzy Navel is a popular cocktail that combines peach schnapps and orange juice. It is known for its sweet and fruity flavor, making it a favorite among those who enjoy light and refreshing alcoholic beverages. The drink is typically served in a highball glass over ice.
History[edit | edit source]
The Fuzzy Navel was created in the 1980s, a decade known for its vibrant and experimental cocktail culture. The drink was invented by Ray Foley, a bartender who sought to create a simple yet appealing cocktail. The name "Fuzzy Navel" is derived from the main ingredients: "fuzzy" refers to the peach fuzz of the peach schnapps, and "navel" refers to navel oranges, which are used for the orange juice component.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The classic Fuzzy Navel recipe includes:
- 1 part peach schnapps
- 1 part orange juice
The ingredients are typically mixed in equal parts, but the proportions can be adjusted to taste. Some variations may include a splash of vodka to increase the alcohol content, creating a drink known as a "Hairy Navel."
Preparation[edit | edit source]
To prepare a Fuzzy Navel:
1. Fill a highball glass with ice cubes. 2. Pour the peach schnapps over the ice. 3. Add the orange juice. 4. Stir gently to combine. 5. Garnish with an orange slice or a cherry, if desired.
Variations[edit | edit source]
While the traditional Fuzzy Navel is made with just peach schnapps and orange juice, there are several variations that add complexity and depth to the drink:
- Hairy Navel: Includes a shot of vodka for added strength.
- Fuzzy Russian: Combines peach schnapps with vodka and cream, similar to a White Russian.
- Fuzzy Bellini: A twist on the classic Bellini, using peach schnapps and prosecco instead of peach puree and champagne.
Popularity[edit | edit source]
The Fuzzy Navel gained popularity in the 1980s and remains a staple in many bars and restaurants. Its simplicity and sweet flavor profile make it an accessible choice for those new to cocktails or those who prefer lighter drinks. The cocktail's resurgence in recent years can be attributed to the growing interest in retro and classic cocktails.
