We're uncovering the tantalizing history behind how this provocatively named drink burst onto the cocktail scene, tracing its roots through the wild landscape of Reagan-era mixology. Nancy would not approve. Join us as we break down the perfect technique for crafting this classic cocktail, and Jules’ riffy-do Where’s The Beach. Then we’ll explore how the Fuzzy Navel's popularity paved the way for this drink and a slew of other attention-grabbing names. You'll get an insider's look at the drink's origin, the marketing genius behind its creation, and how it became a staple of bar menus across America.
