How to Make a Fuzzy Navel
To make a basic fuzzy navel, start by filling a highball glass with ice. If you don't have a highball glass, use a tall, skinny glass or plastic cup. Next, pour in 2 fluid ounces of peach schnapps, then fill the rest of the glass with orange juice. Alternatively, shake the ice, peach schnapps, and orange juice in a cocktail shaker. Then, pour the contents into a glass without the ice.
Fill a highball glass with ice. This easy cocktail recipe requires just a few steps! The first thing you'll need is ice. Most fuzzy navel recipes call for a tall, skinny highball glass as a matter of tradition. If you don't have one, you can use anything from a basic tumbler to a plastic cup instead — it doesn't matter very much. Pour in 2 fl. oz. of peach schnapps. Peach schnapps is a light, sweet liqueur that, as its name suggests, has the flavor of peaches. It can usually be found for quite cheap at liquor stores and in the alcohol aisle of grocery stores. For reference, most standard shot glasses contain about 1 1/2 fl. oz. of liquid. Some larger shot glasses hold 2 fl. oz. with a measuring line at the 1 1/2 fl. oz. mark. Fill the rest of the way with orange juice. Now, just pour orange juice over the ice until the glass is full. Congratulations! You've just made your first fuzzy navel. Alternatively, shake the ingredients with ice and pour. Don't like ice in your drink? If you have a cocktail shaker, just add the ice, schnapps, and orange juice and shake to combine. Pour the liquid into the glass — it'll be refreshingly cold, but won't contain the ice. In a pinch, you can also stir the ingredients in another glass and pour them through a strainer to remove the ice. Add vodka for a hairy navel. Looking for something a little more "intense" than the gentle sweetness of a fuzzy navel? Try adding a shot or two of vodka. The peach schnapps and orange juice do a good job of disguising the taste of the alcohol, so be sure to count your drinks carefully! Note that this drink is basically a screwdriver (vodka and orange juice) with peach schnapps. Add high-proof vodka for a pierced navel. For an even stronger spin on the classic fuzzy navel, use alcohol with a serious kick. 100- or even 150-proof vodka can make one fuzzy navel have the strength of several ordinary cocktails, so drink responsibly! For reference, the percentage of alcohol in a liquor is half its proof number. In other words, 100-proof vodka is 50% alcohol and 150-proof is 75%. Add dark rum for a tan navel. Vodka isn't the only kind of "hard A" you can use to give fuzzy navels more of a kick. The sugarcane-derived flavor of rum pairs well with the sweet flavors of the schnapps and orange juice. Dark rum even gives a tan navel a slightly darker golden-orange color that fits its name! Add amaretto for an innie. The sweet almond flavor of amaretto is a good complement to peach schnapps. Try adding a shot of this liqueur to your fuzzy navels for a smoother yet more complex flavor. You can also try adding a maraschino cherry, which have a very similar almond-y flavor. Substitute cranberry juice and citrus vodka for an outie. This unusual variation turns the basic fuzzy navel recipe "inside out." Here, you're using cranberry juice in place of orange juice and adding a shot or two of citrus-flavored vodka. The resulting drink has a flavor that's very distinct from a "normal" fuzzy navel, yet still contains hints of the original orange-and-peach combination. Citrus vodka flavors include orange, lemon, lime, and grapefruit. Orange will taste the most like an ordinary fuzzy navel, but any works well. Make your own recipe! There aren't any rules about how to make a fuzzy navel "the right way." If you try something new and end up liking it, give it a name and write your recipe down for future use.
