• 1/2 oz creme de almond
• 1/2 oz triple sec
• Sweet and sour mix (for example Mr & Mrs T Sweet & Sour Mix)
• Pineapple juice
• 1/2 oz Myer’s® dark rum

45. Fuzzy Navel

Although there are competing claims concerning who actually invented the Fuzzy Navel, it only came into prominence when mixed drinks surged in popularity in the 1980s. Made of half peach schnapps and half orange juice, it can also be turned into a Hairy Navel by adding vodka.

Recipe

• 1 floz peach schnapps
• 1 floz vodka
• 3 floz orange juice
• 1 dash grenadine (optional)
• ice cubes

46. Amaretto Sour

Amaretto is made from either apricot pits or almonds, and has a complementary taste that lends itself to cooking. Tiramisu, pancake batter and whipped cream can all benefit from some amaretto. The brand name Disaronno is nut-free and safe for those with allergies. An amaretto sour, which includes lime juice and ice cubes, is perfect for an after-dinner drink, as well.

Recipe

• 1 1/2 oz amaretto almond liqueur
• 1 – 2 splashes sweet and sour mix

47. Salty Dog

A Salty Dog is a Greyhound with a rim of salt along the rim of the glass. Other than presentation, the drinks are identical and equally delicious. While it was traditionally a gin-based drink, modern tastes has made vodka a much more likely base.
