Fruity Fuzzy Navel Cocktail

This Fruity Fuzzy Navel Cocktail is perfect for the warmer months ahead for those days by the lake, pool, beach, or just in your own backyard. Three easy ingredients make this summer cocktail a cinch to put together for one or 20 people with ease!

Fruity Fuzzy Navel

Welcome to this week’s edition of Thirsty Thursdays! The cocktail I’m featuring today is my own take on a 1980’s classic, The Fuzzy Navel. 

Have you heard of the drink before? It’s super simple with just two ingredients. The “fuzzy” is represented by the peach schnapps while the “navel” is for the orange juice. Cute how they came up with the name, right?!

My Fruity Fuzzy Navel Cocktail has three ingredients instead of two but it’s equally as simple to make and the perfect drink for the warmer months ahead. Fruit punch, pineapple juice, and peach schnapps are the refreshing ingredients you’ll find in my personal version of the fuzzy navel cocktail. 

I can guarantee you I’ll be sipping on this cocktail a ton this summer while enjoying our lake days. It’s the ultimate drink for just relaxing by the water or for just hanging out in the backyard at a fun summer BBQ. It’s light and thirst-quenching for sure!

I do want to let you know that this cocktail can be extremely dangerous so I advise you to use caution while drinking it. I say this because you taste ZERO alcohol in this fruity concoction. The peach schnapps is so muted that it tricks you into thinking you’re just drinking a glass of juice. 

I just want to remind you, you are not drinking a glass of fruit juice…you’re consuming an adult beverage! Like anything else, drink responsibly. There…I’ll step off my soapbox now.

For the record, I want to say I created this recipe specifically for “my people” who have reached out requesting an adult-drink that didn’t pack a punch. I have received many requests to come up with a cocktail that had a little bit of alcohol in it without having the taste of the liquor smack you in the face.

I get it! Some of my other drinks, like the Strawberry Margarita or Strawberry Vodka Lemonade, can really have a zip to them. This cocktail is perfect for my friends who normally indulge in Malibu rum and pineapple juice cocktails or something simple like a Sex on the Beach. 

This cocktail is for you, honey! No need to thank me…

And if I haven’t convinced you yet that this cocktail needs to be in your life ASAP, I have one more thing to let you in on that I think will seal the deal. Are you ready for it?

This cocktail is completely customizable to any size you want. What does that mean exactly?! It means that you can make this drink for one person, two people, or even 20 people with ease. This makes it perfect to drink solo by the lake or just as convenient to make for an outdoor pool party of 15 people!

How is that even possible? Well this Fruity Fuzzy Navel is made by mixing equal parts of all three ingredients: fruit punch, pineapple juice, and peach schnapps. That means as long as you put that same exact amount of each ingredient in your glass or pitcher, the drink will come out exactly the same.

If I was making this cocktail just for myself I would most likely start with 2 ounces/4 tablespoons of each of the three ingredients. If I were going to make a big pitcher for a party, I would be looking at adding at least 4 cups or more of each of the ingredients. See where I’m going with this though? You have complete control over the size you want to make this Fruity Fuzzy Navel. 

In my YouTube video, I talked about how I like to add crushed ice into my cocktails when I’m making them at home. If I’m sitting in my house with the a/c on, the ice is perfect and doesn’t melt nearly as fast as it would if I were outside sitting on my dock.

For long days outside, I prefer to use plastic ice cubes like these. Another good alternative is freezing fruit, my personal favorite are grapes, and then using them as ice cubes. Both options won’t water down your drink as it sits out in the warm sun.

One more option would be to make this cocktail ahead of time and then pour some of the liquid into an ice cube mold to freeze. Once frozen, you’ll have Fruity Fuzzy Navel ice cubes to keep your drink cold. That would be really fun for a party! And of course, I would recommend some fun ice cube molds to do the trick. 

Or you can just drink real fast although that wouldn’t be the most “adult” thing to do and I’d never want to teach you bad habits! Wink, wink.

    This looks delicious, fun, and easy to make! However, since we don’t drink, I think I’ll change a couple of ingredients. I LOVE the “Simply” drinks–they taste great but I think there is also a peach syrup that I could use instead of the alcohol. I’ll try it and let you know. Years ago I read about this alcoholic red drink–so I substituted grenadine (pomegranate syrup) for the alcohol. It took a bit of experimenting to get the right balance–but it was really good and I served it for family gatherings. I really enjoy reading about your wonderful drinks–and I think I can still use them with a bit of imagination! Thanks again for another great post!

      I think this drink would be perfect with a peach syrup! I wonder if you could make a peach simple syrup using a cup each of peach, sugar, and water and then cooking it down until the sugar dissolves and the peaches breakdown. From there, run it through a strainer to remove any big chunks of leftover peaches. It would make the drink sweet but honestly, this alcoholic version is very sweet too. Hope you enjoy experimenting.

On a different note, what’s for dinner in your house tonight? I’m racking my brain trying to think of something. Help!!🤣

Can you spot the pink in this photo?! It’s hard to believe that Valentine’s Day is one month from today. Starting tomorrow, my feed is going to be taken over by hearts, pink, and all things love. For today, I’m just giving you a little tease. I purposely took this picture with my back to my mantle because it’s about to get a Valentine’s Day update and I want it to be a surprise.🥰

Anyone else feeling the itch to decorate for The Day of Love?!?!❤️❤️❤️

“Memories at the lake last a lifetime”...i.e. Like when Zach recently went to put the cover on the boat and his phone fell out of his pocket into the water. Or when Patrick thought he was hitting the brake on his friend’s jet ski and it took off like a 🚀 causing chaos. Or when we almost sank our pontoon in the middle of the lake.🤣🤣🤣
.
Lake life is amazing but isn’t always perfect. Any funny bloopers you have of you or your family at the lake, beach, or even the pool? Our family can’t be the only ones...can we??!!🤔

What’s your favorite day of the week? If I had to pick one I’d say it’s WEDNESDAY. Wednesdays in the Hernandez household are designated as family days...no ifs, ands, or buts about it.😉
.
With Patrick working crazy hours, Wednesdays are actually the only consistent day of the week for the three of us to be together.  We do our best to take advantage of it as much as we can! Sometimes we have big plans, but more often we just hang out doing errands together and maybe grab lunch or dinner at a restaurant. It’s most definitely more about the time spent for us than finding something epic to do each and every Wednesday.❤️
.
Today’s activities included hair cuts for the guys, a comic book run for Zach, lunch, a trip to Aldi’s, and some sunset lake portraits. The perfect day! Swipe if you want to see the “real” Hernandez clan acting like the crazy family we are during our lake portraits!🤪
.
If you don’t do so already, I encourage you to join me in being more intentional with spending time with your family. Pick a day or time that works for everyone and commit to you all just being together. I can assure you it will quickly become your favorite day of the week too!🥰
