Recipe Tips
Key Tips for the Perfect Fuzzy Navel
Choose the Right Peach Schnapps
For authenticity, DeKuyper Peachtree Schnapps is the traditional choice – it's the original schnapps used in the first Fuzzy Navel. If you can't find it, make sure to use American-style peach schnapps, which tends to be sweeter and more intensely flavored than European varieties. Important Note: Don't confuse DeKuyper Peachtree Schnapps with DeKuyper Peach Pucker, which has a completely different flavor profile.Fresh Orange Juice Matters
While bottled juice will work in a pinch, freshly squeezed orange juice makes a noticeable difference in this cocktail. The bright, natural flavor complements the peach schnapps perfectly. For best results:- Use navel oranges for their sweet juice and low seed content
- Strain out all pulp for a smooth drinking experience
- Juice the oranges right before mixing for maximum freshness
