Peachtree owes its success to the ease with which it can be mixed, as it can be combined with almost any soft drink. Before Peachtree was introduced to the market, the Screwdriver (vodka with orange juice) was a popular mix. With the arrival of Peachtree in the mid-1980s, the Fuzzy Navel became the new favorite cocktail among the public. This Fuzzy Navel is a mix of peach liqueur with orange juice and is inspired by the Screwdriver. Peachtree became the favorite among bartenders for mixing this cocktail, and this cocktail was one of the first drinks to herald the renewed popularity of cocktails and mixed drinks in the 1980s. The initial success of Peachtree was assured.
