Since 2006, attendees at New York’s Grand Slam event have quenched their thirst with the tournament’s signature cocktail: The Honey Deuce.
Last year, the cocktail cost $22 and was a major moneymaker for the tournament, with the 450,000 Deuces poured at the 2023 U.S. Open generating $9.9 million in sales. With a $23 price tag this year, the boozy beverage is expected to rake in at least $10 million. Remarkably, the Honey Deuce will bring in more money than the combined $7.2 million awarded to the winners of the men’s and women’s tournaments.
The cocktail - whose name is play on “honeydew” and the tennis score “deuce” - features Grey Goose vodka, lemonade, raspberry liqueur and is garnished with three honeydew balls, scooped to look like mini tennis balls.
Grey Goose has shared the recipe so that you can make a Honey Deuce at home. You’ll just need the following:
Ice
1 ¼ oz Vodka
3 oz Lemonade
½ oz Raspberry Liqueur
3 Honeydew Melon Balls, Skewered
If you want to go large and make a Honey Deuce pitcher instead, you’ll need 16 oz of vodka, 32 oz of lemonade and 8 oz of raspberry liqueur.
