US Open Honey Deuce Recipe
We’re a big baseball and tennis family, visiting many different major league ballparks over the years and finally got to attend a grand slam tennis tournament a couple years ago. We went to the US Open and it was everything and more, from NYC to the matches, to the food and drink, to the shear spectacle of it all.
This honey deuce cocktail is the US Open official cocktail and it is DELISH! Light and refreshing, with complex flavors, sweet but not too sweet. And the best part? You can make it at home in less than 5 minutes, without paying the $23+ it’s sold for at the tennis tournament.
What Is A Honey Deuce Cocktail?
The honey deuce cocktail is the official cocktail of the US Open. It’s made with Grey Goose vodka, lemonade, and Chambord then served over ice and garnished with honeydew melon balls.
Helpful Tips & Variations
- Vodka. The official US Open cocktail is made with Grey Goose. However, you could use another preferred brand of vodka here. Just make sure it’s a good quality one!
- Lemonade & Chambord. Any pulp-free lemonade will work, either homemade lemonade or store bought. You could also use another premium raspberry liqueur instead of chambord.
- Add some simple syrup. If needed, you can add some simple syrup to the cocktail for additional sweetness. I would make the cocktail first and then decide as store-bought lemonade can be quite sweet.
- Prep the honeydew melon balls in advance. I like to prep these at least a few hours in advance, flash-freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe ziploc bag.
- Make a big batch. If you’re entertaining a larger crowd, you can make a big batch. Increase the ingredients amounts, pour into a pitcher, keep chilled, and give it a good stir before pouring into glasses.
