The \u2018Honey Deuce\u2019\u2014the legendary official cocktail of the US Open\u2014is being loved by fans again this year.<\/p>\n

Since 2006, attendees at New York\u2019s Grand Slam event, held at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, have quenched their thirst with the tournament\u2019s signature boozy beverage\u2014whose name is a playful nod to the fruit \u201choneydew\u201d and the tennis score \u201cdeuce.\u201d<\/p>\n

With more nods to the sport, the drink, made with Grey Goose vodka, lemonade, and raspberry liqueur, is garnished with three honeydew balls, scooped to resemble mini tennis balls.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mini honeydew melons that look like tennis balls capture the eye and therefore, the imagination,\u201d Nick Mautone<\/strong>, the drink\u2019s creator, told Vogue<\/a> in 2021. \u201cIt\u2019s visually a fun thing to drink at a tennis match.\u201d<\/p>\n

Etched with all the U.S. Open men\u2019s and women\u2019s champions since 1968, the cup is a keepsake for fans to take home.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe come here for this,\u201d Trudy Potter<\/strong>, an attendee of the game, said of the cups last year while speaking to The New York Times<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

Last year alone, the tournament\u2019s famed cocktail brought in almost $10 million, with 450,000 Deuces poured at the 2023 U.S. Open\u2014which is more than the combined $7.2 million awarded to the winners of the men\u2019s and women\u2019s tournaments.<\/p>\n

The amount is unsurprising, considering the cocktail came in at a whopping $22 last year, which has now increased to $23. It\u2019s the sixth price hike the drink has seen since 2012, according to Morning Brew, when it cost a comparatively modest $14.<\/p>\n

But if making it to Flushing Queens just isn\u2019t in the cards this year and you still want to sip something refreshing, you can make the Honey Deuce at home, thanks to Grey Goose<\/a>.<\/p>\n
