FAQ’s About The Perfect Fuzzy Navel Cocktail

Why Is It Called A Fuzzy Navel?

The fuzzy part refers to the peach schnapps (think fuzz from peaches), and the navel part refers to the orange type.

I Enjoy Strong Drinks. Can I Make A Fuzzy Navel Cocktail Stronger?

Want a stronger drink? Drink it without adding the ice to your cup. You’ll want to keep the ice in the shaker though, as this allows it to be served cold, which it tastes so much better that way.

Do I Have To Add The Vodka?

Of course not! Adding vodka gives it a slightly different flavor and is often referred to as a hairy navel.

What Is The Best Vodka To Use For This Recipe?

It really cheapens the taste of the hairy navel. It tastes like it has chemicals in it. Get a good vodka and your drink will be smooth as butter.

I Like My Drinks Sweeter, What Can I Do?

Want your drink to be a touch sweeter? Use Sunny D instead of normal orange juice.
