Highballs and long drinks · Liqueur
Two ingredients, one pun. The fuzz of a peach skin and the navel of a navel orange give this drink its name, and the taste is exactly that: ripe peach and juicy orange, cold and light.

Fuzzy Navel
Sweet ripe peach and fresh orange, low in alcohol and very easy drinking. Juicy rather than complex.
The Fuzzy Navel is a product of the 1980s, when sweet peach schnapps suddenly became one of the most fashionable bottles in American bars. The name plays on the fuzzy skin of the peach and the navel orange whose juice fills the glass.
It was one of the drinks that made flavoured liqueurs mainstream and sat on countless party and bar menus of the decade, alongside the Sex on the Beach, which also uses peach schnapps. Its creator is not reliably documented.
The name combines the fuzzy skin of a peach and the navel orange used for the juice.
Mild: with peach schnapps at around 15 to 20 percent ABV, the finished drink is about 5 to 7 percent.
Yes, a crème de pêche or peach liqueur works and often tastes more natural.
The perfect sound
Peachy, carefree fun at a colourful house party.
