The signature cocktail of the 2024 U.S. Open tennis tournament, the “Honey Deuce,” has taken social media by storm and has become a fan favorite among attendees at the event. Priced at $23 each, the drink is expected to generate over $10 million in sales by the end of the tournament. Created by Nick Mautone nearly two decades ago, the vodka-based cocktail was introduced to the U.S. Open in 2007 by sponsor Grey Goose and has since sold over 2 million units at the annual contest.
The Honey Deuce has gained popularity not only among tennis fans in New York but also on social media, with celebrities like Serena Williams seen enjoying the drink at the tournament. Some bars in the city have even started serving their own versions of the cocktail to cater to the growing demand.
For those who can’t attend the U.S. Open in person, the recipe for the Honey Deuce is simple and can be made at home. The drink includes Grey Goose vodka, lemonade, Chambord raspberry liqueur, and honeydew melon, served in a highball glass with ice and garnished with melon balls on a skewer. With the widespread popularity of the Honey Deuce, it seems that this signature cocktail will continue to be a hit at future U.S. Open tournaments.
