How To Make A Frozen Fuzzy Navel Cocktail
Add the ice, orange juice, peach schnapps, and vodka to a high-powered blender.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and reaches a thick, slushy consistency.
If your blender struggles, stop and use the tamper to help move the ice toward the blades before continuing to blend.
Taste the cocktail and adjust the sweetness if needed. If you’d like a sweeter drink, blend in 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar at a time until it reaches your preferred flavor.
Divide the frozen cocktail evenly between two or three highball glasses.
Garnish with a fresh orange slice and a sprig of mint for a bright, refreshing finish. Serve immediately while it’s perfectly icy.
Tips for the Best Frozen Fuzzy Navel
- Use a powerful blender. A high-powered blender creates the smoothest frozen texture. If yours comes with a tamper, use it to help blend stubborn ice without adding extra liquid.
- Adjust the sweetness. Orange juice varies in sweetness, so feel free to add a tablespoon of sugar at a time if you’d like a sweeter cocktail. Two tablespoons is usually more than enough.
- Choose your favorite orange juice. Pulp-free juice gives the drink a silky texture, but fresh-squeezed or pulp-filled orange juice works just as well if that’s your preference.
- Boost the orange flavor. For an extra citrus punch, toss a few peeled orange segments into the blender before mixing. They’ll add fresh, vibrant orange flavor without overpowering the peach.
- Keep it thick. Resist the urge to add extra juice or other liquids unless you intentionally want a thinner drink. The ice-to-liquid ratio is what gives this cocktail its signature frozen, slushy consistency.
- Serve immediately. Frozen cocktails are best enjoyed right away before they begin to melt, so have your glasses ready before you start blending.
