#CocktailHour: Pierced Fuzzy Navel

  Wednesday.  Hump Day.  That day of the week (other than Monday) where you begin to look forward to the weekend.

I'm not going to lie.  I'm not a fan of peaches to begin with.  I find them to be rather sweet and sugary.  This drink isn't all that different in terms of sweetness. It DOES taste like peaches though- so if you are a fan of them, you'll probably like this drink.  The cranberry juice does mellow it out a bit by adding a touch of tartness to it... but not enough to really appeal to me though. In fact, the sweetness is strong enough that it pretty much hides the flavor of the tequila... whic...
