A fuzzy navel is a cocktail drink you can learn how to make at home. The drink is a relatively simple one to make, as it only contains two main ingredients. These are peach Schnapps and orange juice. However, some recipes will call for other juices or vodka in addition to these.http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink290.html The orange juice flavor will be the largest part of the drink, so it is a good idea to use one that is fresh and has a pleasant taste. A bitter orange juice will result in a bitter drink, so quality is an important factor here.
The Fuzzy Navel started becoming a regular bar drink during the 1980s, and it is not known who coined the term. The name comes from the ingredients: fuzzy is for the peach, and navel is from the orange. The drink is often garnished with fresh fruit, most commonly an orange slice.http://www.chow.com/recipes/10253-fuzzy-navel
