Fuzzy Navel #2 sits firmly in the easy-drinking, fruit-forward highball family: a simple mix of vodka, peach schnapps, and orange juice built for effortless sipping. You’ll recognise the “Fuzzy Navel” idea as part of the late-20th-century wave of sweet, approachable cocktails that lean on flavoured liqueurs and juice, with this version nudging the profile drier and a touch more spirited by bringing vodka into the spotlight.
On the palate, vodka keeps things clean and neutral, letting the peach schnapps take the lead with its ripe, candy-like stone-fruit sweetness. Orange juice tops it all up with bright citrus and a soft, pulpy roundness, so the drink lands as juicy rather than sharp. Expect the orange to lift the peach, while the vodka reins in the sweetness so it doesn’t feel too syrupy.
Serve it long and refreshing in a highball when you want something uncomplicated—ideal for warm afternoons, casual get-togethers, or as an easy party pour. If you enjoy sweet, fruity drinks but still want a noticeable kick, this one hits the sweet spot without demanding a developed cocktail palate.

Cocktail Colin says:
Vodka gives a clean, neutral backbone while peach schnapps brings candied stone-fruit sweetness that melts into the bright, pulpy orange juice top-up, reading like peach-orange nectar with a gentle alcoholic lift. It works because the orange juice’s acidity keeps the schnapps from cloying and the vodka adds structure without changing the fruit, ideal for beginners and anyone craving an uncomplicated, juicy highball.
