Fuzzy Navel

A fuzzy navel is a mixed drink made from peach schnapps and orange juice. Generally an equal amount of each component is used to concoct it, although quantities may vary. It can also be made with lemonade or a splash of vodka depending on the drinker's taste. The addition of another 1 or 1+1⁄2 oz of vodka to the fuzzy navel creates a "hairy navel", the more "hair" referring to the increased strength of alcohol in the drink. A "Hairy Navel" or "Fuzzy Russian" recipe may include 1 part vodka, 1 part peach schnapps, and 4 parts orange juice. In 1984, National Distillers launched DeKuyper Original Peachtree, the first peach-flavored schnapps sold in the United States. Inspired by the Screwdriver , Peachtree and orange juice was quickly popularized across the country, particularly among women seeking a sweeter, low-calorie vodka alternative. By 1985, Peachtree was the top-selling schnapps brand in the U.S. As part of a wider marketing campaign, National Distillers worked with an advertising agency to create names for DeKuyper schnapps drink recipes, eventually landing on "Fuzzy Navel" for the popular Peachtree and orange juice combination.
