The Honey Deuce is the U.S. Open drink that people really, really love every year at the tennis Grand Slam in New York.
Is it the ingredients? The delightful melon scoops that look like tennis balls? The idea that you’re drinking the cocktail of the event like the mint julep at the Kentucky Derby?
Maybe all of the above. Millions of glasses of the drinks have been sold, and per Business Insider, they’ve earned nearly $10 million (!) at $22 price point.
In 2024, the Honey Deuce will cost $23. And what’s in it, you ask? Fear not. You can make it at home if you can’t go to Flushing. Per Grey Goose:
- 1.25 ounces of Vodka
- 3 ounces of lemonade
- 0.5 ounces of Chambord
- 3 Honeydew melon balls
That’s it! Enjoy.
