The Fuzzy Naval
As a last nod to summer SPEC is featuring the Fuzzy Naval. A Fuzzy Naval is made from peach schnapps and orange juice. The addition of vodka to the fuzzy navel creates a "hairy navel" (but that is another story), the more "hair" referring to the increased strength of alcohol in the drink.
The fuzzy navel was one of the first drinks to arise in the new popularity of cocktails and mixed drinks in the 1980s. The drink was invented over 30 years ago by Ray Foley, a bartender and founder of Bartender Magazine. The story goes that Ray was cutting an orange for a garnish when fellow friend Jack Doyle made the remark that he could still smell the fuzz of Peach Schnapps through the orange juice. Ray looked at the orange and saw the printed word "Navel" for navel orange. Thus the cocktail was born.
"Fuzzy" in the name refers to the peach, and "navel" to the orange.
