Fuzzy Asshole
A brazenly simple hot cocktail that combines the robust bitterness of fresh coffee with the sweet, fruity kick of peach schnapps. Best served steaming hot, this equal-parts drink offers a warming, if somewhat unusual, flavor profile perfect for cold weather.
What it tastes like
The aroma is dominated by roasted coffee beans and artificial stone fruit. The palate is intensely sweet with a syrupy texture that coats the mouth. The finish leaves a lingering warmth from the hot liquid and a strong, candy-like peach aftertaste.
