A two-ingredient fuzzy navel cocktail is made with refreshing peach schnapps and orange juice. It’s sweet, fruity, and goes down smoothly!

Why this recipe works

A fuzzy navel is a cocktail made with only two ingredients – peach schnapps and orange juice. It’s not to be confused with a hairy navel, which also incorporates vodka into the two ingredients OR a screwdriver cocktail which uses only vodka and orange juice – though they’re all fairly similar.

This sipper keeps it nice and simple with fruity, citrus flavors that are both refreshing and bright, perfect for summertime parties.
