FAQ
What is the difference between a Fuzzy Navel and a Hairy Navel?
A Hairy Navel is simply a Fuzzy Navel with an added shot of vodka, making it a stronger, higher-alcohol version of the drink.
Can I make a non-alcoholic version?
Yes, you can make a 'Virgin Fuzzy Navel' by substituting the peach schnapps with peach nectar or syrup and mixing it with orange juice.
Is peach schnapps the same as peach liqueur?
They are similar but distinct. Peach schnapps is typically a clear, sweet, high-proof spirit with peach flavoring, while peach liqueur may be thicker, less alcoholic, and sometimes made with real fruit.
