Still on court after 20 years, the Honey Deuce keeps winning at the US Open
The Honey Deuce has become an iconic symbol of the US Open tennis tournament, with its signature cocktail celebrating its 20th anniversary and drawing fans from all over Flushing Meadows. The cocktail, a blend of Grey Goose vodka, lemonade, and raspberry liqueur, was inspired by the mint julep and quickly gained popularity since its debut in 2007.
The drink's collectible plastic glass, featuring the names of past champions in smaller and smaller font, has become a sought-after souvenir, regularly selling out before the tournament ends. The popularity of the cocktail has been further fueled by the rise of social media, with the US Open accrediting around 100 creators for food and beverages.
