Brewed coffee and peach schnapps in equal measure form the Fuzzy Asshole, a warm drink stirred together and consumed hot from a coffee mug. The schnapps lays a candied stone-fruit sweetness over the coffee's natural bitterness, the two halves balancing into an accessible, low-strength serve of roughly 8 percent alcohol by volume. It belongs to the coffee-and-tea category of mixed drinks rather than to chilled cocktails, and its preparation is as simple as filling a mug half with each component and stirring.

History & Origins
The Fuzzy Asshole belongs to the tradition of provocatively named novelty drinks that emerged in American bar culture during the 1980s and 1990s. The peach schnapps and coffee combination draws on the same logic as Irish Coffee — warming spirit poured into hot coffee — adapted with a sweet, fruity liqueur. Its specific origin is disputed and unattributed.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: roasted coffee with sweet peach from the schnapps. Palate: moderately sweet with a fruity peach character layered over the bitter coffee, creating a simple but pleasant sweet-bitter contrast. Finish: warm and lightly sweet with peach lingering over the coffee's roasted notes.
Pro Tip
Use a strongly brewed coffee to ensure the coffee flavor is not overwhelmed by the sweet peach schnapps, and drink while hot for the full warming effect.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the ingredients in a Fuzzy Asshole?
A Fuzzy Asshole is a warm coffee cocktail made with equal parts hot brewed coffee and peach schnapps, combining the bitterness of coffee with the sweet, peachy flavor of the liqueur. It is typically served in a mug or heat-proof glass without ice, making it a cozy, low-ABV hot cocktail. The peach schnapps adds sweetness that reduces the need for added sugar.
How does a Fuzzy Asshole differ from Irish Coffee?
Irish Coffee uses Irish whiskey as its spirit base, features whipped cream as a topping, and typically includes sugar, giving it a richer and more complex flavor profile at a higher ABV. The Fuzzy Asshole uses peach schnapps, which is much lower in alcohol, resulting in a sweeter, lighter, and more approachable warm cocktail. Irish Coffee is a recognized classic; the Fuzzy Asshole is a casual, novelty-named warm drink.
What ABV does a Fuzzy Asshole typically have?
Peach schnapps is typically 15–20% ABV, and when combined in equal parts with hot coffee, the resulting drink reaches approximately 7–10% ABV, making it one of the milder hot cocktails. This low strength and sweet peach flavor make it accessible to drinkers who prefer lighter cocktails. The absence of cream or additional spirits keeps the alcohol content modest.
