I'm not taken to sweet drinks, but this is a very pleasant cocktail for the warmer months. As I write this, snow is covering our yard, and it's in the low 20's. But you have to think ahead, in the Cocktail Game.I discovered this last year, after getting a bit weary of the somewhat complicated classic cocktails I'd been experimenting with - things like the Sazerac. All I wanted was something simple and refreshing. And this fills the bill. I've made a minor alteration, but not in the taste.
If you haven't tried one, give the Fuzzy Navel a go. The name is derived from its ingredients: Peach schnapps (peach = peach fuzz = Fuzzy) and orange juice (a Navel is an orange). Here's how I make mine:
The Fuzzy Navel
2 oz Peach Schnapps
2 oz Orange juice
1 Tsp lemon juice
Splash of soda water
Place the ingredients into an Old Fashioned glass containing ice. Stir gently, add straw and enjoy! (Garnish optional.)
