When it comes to cocktails, fuzzy navel is one of the easiest drinks. Apart from being easy to make (there are only two ingredients for this drink), fuzzy navel is also “easy to drink.” Its smooth texture and sweet taste make this drink can be enjoyed by anyone, even for those who usually don't like cocktails. Therefore, immediately prepare the materials and let's start making fuzzy navels!
Ingredients
Standard Fuzzy Navel
- 60 ml peach flavored Schnapps
- Orange juice
- Ice
Various Fuzzy Navel Variations
Add the following ingredients to create a fuzzy navel variation.
- 60 ml unflavored vodka – “Hairy Navel”
- 60 ml vodka 100 or 150 proof – “Pierced Navel”
- 60 ml dark rum (dark rum) – “Tan Navel”
- 60 ml amaretto – “Innie”
- Cranberry juice – “Outie”
- 60 ml citrus-flavored vodka – “Outie”
Step
Method 1 of 2: Creating a Standard Fuzzy Navel
Step 1. Fill the glass with ice
This drink is made in just a few steps. First of all, you need ice.
Most fuzzy navel recipes use a tall, slender glass as a tradition. If you don't have this cup, just replace it with a tumbler or plastic cup
Step 2. Pour 60 ml of peach flavored schnapps
Peach schnapps is a liqueur with a light, sweet peach flavor. This drink can be purchased at liquor stores and supermarkets.
For reference, the standard shot glass is 45 ml. Some of the larger shot glasses can hold 60 ml of liquid and have a marking line at 45 ml
Step 3. Fill the remaining glass with orange juice
Now, just pour in the orange juice until the glass is full. Congratulations, your fuzzy navel is ready.
Step 4. Alternatively, beat the ingredients with ice and then pour into a glass
If you have a cocktail shaker, simply add the ice, schnapps and orange juice and beat until combined. After that, pour it into a glass. This method is good for those of you who don't like ice in drinks.
If you don't have a cocktail shaker, just mix all the ingredients in one glass, then pour the fuzzy navels in another glass with a sieve to keep the ice out
Method 2 of 2: Creating Fuzzy Navel Variations
See the "Ingredients" section above for recommended dosages.
Step 1. Add vodka for “Hairy Navel
Looking for something a bit 'powerful'? Try adding a shot or two of vodka. The schnapps and orange juice will mask the taste of the alcohol so count your drinks carefully!
Basically, this drink is a screwdriver (vodka and orange juice) with peach-flavored schnapps
Step 2. Add high-proof vodka for “Pierced Navel
"To strengthen the fuzzy navel, use enough alcohol to "kick in." Vodka with 100-150 proof can make a fuzzy navel as strong as some regular cocktails. Drink wisely!
For reference, the percentage of alcohol in liquor is half the proof number. In other words, 100 proof vodka is 50% alcohol and 150 proof is 5% alcohol
Step 3. Add dark rum for the “Tan Navel
Vodka isn't the only drink that can give the fuzzy navel more a kick. The cane sugar flavor of the rum blends well with the sweetness of the schnapps and orange juice. Dark rum will also darken the orange juice of the orange juice.
Step 4. Add amaretto for “Innie
The almond sweetness of the amaretto is a good complement to peach schnapps. Add a shot to give the fuzzy navel a softer yet complex feel.
You can also add maraschino cherries which have a similar almond taste
Step 5. Replace orange juice with cranberry juice and orange vodka for an “Outie
This odd variation turns the usual fuzzy navel into "Inside Out." Here, you'll use cranberry juice instead of orange juice and add 1-2 shots of citrus-flavored vodka. The result has a very different taste from normal fuzzy navel, but the combination of orange and peach is still noticeable.
Citrus-flavored vodkas include oranges, limes, limes, and grapes. Citrus-flavored vodka will give the most fuzzy navel-like taste
Step 6. Create your own recipe
There is no fixed rule in making the correct fuzzy navel. If you try to experiment and like the results, give your drink a name and write down the recipe. Below are some examples of ingredients that can be added (with proper names).
- Lemon juice – “Sour Navel”
- Cream – “Pale Navel”
- Grenadines – “Sunburnt Navel”
- Blue Curacao – “Seasick Navel”
- Champagne – “Bubbly Navel”
- Bourbon – “Caramel Navel”
Tips
- Put the ingredients and ice in a blender to make a blended fuzzy navel. Very suitable in hot weather.
- Use orange juice without pulp. The orange pulp will give the cocktail a "thick" texture.
- Decorate the glass with orange or peach slices in the mouth of the glass to enhance your fuzzy navel.
