A fun drink for August, especially for tennis fans watching the U.S. Open Tennis tournament, is the Honey Deuce. The official drink of the tournament and a quick and easy refreshing drink for the summer. A riff on a raspberry lemonade this drink is fast and easy to make and really does hit the spot during a hot summer day. With three simple ingredients of Grey Goose Vodka, Chambord and lemonade and the iconic garnish of three honeydew melon balls (resembling tennis balls), this cocktail is a fun way to watch the US Open and feel like you’re part of the crowd or just to enjoy with friends. An eye-popping stat is in 2024 over 450,000 of these drinks were ordered and served at the US open at $23 bucks a pop, garnering sales of over $10 million dollars. Cheers and enjoy!!!!
