Hairy Navel
A punchy 80s highball mixing vodka, peach schnapps, and orange juice.
The Hairy Navel is the stronger sibling of the Fuzzy Navel, adding a measure of vodka to the peach schnapps and orange juice base. The 'hair' refers to the added strength of the spirit, which cuts the syrupy sweetness of the schnapps and adds body to the juice. It is a simple, fruit-forward highball that balances the stone fruit aromatics of the 80s with the structure of a Screwdriver. It represents the era's love for cheeky names and accessible flavors.
Did you know?
“The drink evolved as bartenders sought to boost the ABV of the incredibly popular Fuzzy Navel without altering its peach-forward flavor profile.”
Bartender's Note
Use fresh orange juice to keep the drink refreshing rather than cloying.
