Fuzzy navels certainly have a strange name, but it's a result of the peach liqueur and the navel orange juice that makes up this cocktail. While the original recipe is great, making a fuzzy navel slush adds a new level of refreshing and fruity flavor. Consider a frozen fuzzy navel recipe the next time you want to play around with peach schnapps.
Fuzzy Navel Slush
The original fuzzy navel is an easy mixed drink since it's a simple mixture of peach schnapps and orange juice, and some recipes even call for a bit of lemonade to bring the tastes together. A fuzzy navel slush requires mixing these ingredients with some sugar and freezing until it becomes slushy, similar to partially thawed snow. Slushes are particularly popular during the summer when frozen mixed drinks are most satisfying. Some drinks have such alluring names you want to try them based on that alone. The fuzzy navel slush is in this category, and its taste is as good as its name is charming.
