Peach Fuzzy Navel Cocktails Ingredients

You only need two ingredients when making this Fuzzy Navel recipe. Unless you want to make it a Hairy Fuzzy Navel! That of course is simply the addition of either a shot of vodka or a shot of Bacardi Rum Superior.

• Peach Schnapps - Or, for a non alcoholic version, substitute Peach Nectar.
• Orange juice - Try to use fresh squeezed whenever possible, but the fresh sold in refrigerated cartons is great also!
• Ice cubes - Use large ice cubes, not crushed ice.
• Orange slices - For rim garnish.
• Maraschino cherries - Optional, for garnish.
• Bacardi Rum or Vodka - Optional, only if you want to make your Fuzzy Navel a Hairy Navel!

How to Make A Fuzzy Navel Cocktail

This Fuzzy Navel cocktail could not get any easier... You're literally combing two liquids, shaking, and pouring over ice. It's the ratio that makes this drink sublime.

Ice In Your Cocktail Shaker

1. Add a scoop of ice cubes to your cocktail shaker.

Shake To Mix

4. Put the lid on the cocktail shaker and give it a good shake for about 30 seconds.

Pour Over Ice

5. Fill a glass with some ice cubes, and pour your shaken Fuzzy Navel into the glass over the ice.
6. Garnish the glass rim with an orange slice and add a maraschino cherry. Enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

This cocktail can be served on the rocks, blended, or even frozen. If you are serving Fuzzy Navel cocktails on the rocks, you can add a splash of club soda or ginger ale to give it a little bit of fizz.

If you are blending Fuzzy Navels, you can add a few fresh peach slices for a more intense peach flavor. And if you're making Frozen Fuzzy Navels, you can blend with frozen peaches instead of ice.

• Top with sparkling water for a refreshing twist.
• Add a splash of vodka or rum for a stronger drink.
• Blend with ice for a Frozen Fuzzy Navel.

Equipment

Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Below are some of my favorite pieces of equipment that I use when making this Fuzzy Navel cocktail recipe.

• Cocktail Making Essentials
• JuMex Peach Nectar, 33 oz
• Goya Peach Nectar, 2 x 33 oz
• Kern's Peach Nectar - 24 can case

Storage

The Fuzzy Navel is best served right before serving. This is because the peach schnapps will start to water down from the melting ice cubes. Most mixed drinks are best served freshly made.

Tips for Success

• Adjust the amount of peach schnapps and orange juice to your taste.
• Serve the Fuzzy Navel drink immediately for the best flavor.
