History
A fuzzy variation of the vodka-laced Hairy Navel.
Inspired by the popular Screwdriver, the Fuzzy Navel was created in 1984. It was part of a marketing campaign by National Distillers to support the launch of De Kuyper Original Peachtree in the USA. The name, with "Fuzzy" referring to the peach schnapps and "navel" to the orange juice, was conceived by the advertising agency involved in the campaign. The advertising contributed to its success; by 1985, The New York Times reported that initial first-year sales of 85,000 cases were predicted to increase to one million cases within that year.
Also known as Cold Medina (a nickname for this cocktail started by the Beastie Boys
