How to Make a Quick Fuzzy Navel

The Fuzzy Navel cocktail is a sweet, fruity drink that became popular in the 1980s. Its name comes from the combination of "fuzzy," referring to the peach schnapps, and "navel," referring to the orange juice used in the cocktail. The Fuzzy Navel was created in 1984 by Ray Foley, a bartender and the publisher of Bartender Magazine. Foley wanted to create a simple, yet delicious cocktail that highlighted the peach flavor of the schnapps. He combined it with orange juice, resulting in a drink that was easy to make and easy to enjoy. The cocktail quickly gained popularity due to its simplicity and refreshing taste. It became a staple at parties and bars, especially among those who preferred a sweeter, lower-alcohol beverage. The Fuzzy Navel is typically served in a highball glass over ice and garnished with an orange slice.
