Classic Fuzzy Navel Cocktail
Description
The Classic Fuzzy Navel Cocktail recipe consists of equal parts peach schnapps and fresh orange juice poured over ice in a highball glass. Using freshly squeezed orange juice enhances the drink’s brightness and fresh flavor compared to bottled juice. The peach schnapps provides a sweet, fragrant foundation with an intensely peachy aroma.
The preparation is simple: fill glass with ice, add schnapps, then orange juice, and finish with an orange slice garnish that reinforces the citrus notes. The cocktail is lightly alcoholic and fruit-forward, suitable as a casual, easy-to-make mixed drink.
Choosing American-style peach schnapps, especially the traditional DeKuyper Peachtree, keeps the intended sweetness and flavor intact. Avoid confusing it with Peach Pucker, which tastes different. Fresh navel oranges are preferred for juicing due to their sweetness and few seeds, and straining the pulp sharpens the drink’s texture.
Ingredients
- ice
- 3 ounces Peach Schnapps
- 3 ounces orange juice freshly squeezed
- 1 orange to garnish, slice
Instructions
- Fill a highball glass with ice.
- Add the schnapps followed by the orange juice.
- Garnish with an orange slice.
Notes
- Use DeKuyper Peachtree Peach Schnapps for authentic flavor and sweetness.
- Freshly squeezed orange juice from navel oranges enhances brightness; strain out pulp for smoothness.
- Avoid using bottled juice when possible as fresh juice noticeably improves the cocktail.
- Do not substitute with DeKuyper Peach Pucker, which has a different flavor profile.
