How To Drink Like You're At The U.S. Open

Grey Goose Honey Deuce

Today is the first day of the The US Tennis Open, at Arthur Ashe stadium and If you haven't gone to the U.S. Open, then there is a lot you're missing out on. From spending the last Summer Days outside, as athletes and celebrities like Anna Wintour and Jimmy Fallon take part in this 2-week sporting event, it's always an elegant event.

Crafted to pay homage to the world’s most exciting Grand Slam, the Grey Goose Honey Deuce is comprised of Grey Goose Vodka, freshly squeezed lemonade and raspberry liqueur, topped with tennis-inspired honeydew melon balls.

Designed to transport tennis fans near and far to the non-stop courtside action, the cocktail is named after the most exciting moment of a tennis match when the score is tied at 40-40 - coined by tennis nerds as “deuce.” The refreshing sip is ideal for cooling off during the sultry summer days or powering through the wee hours of the morning to see if Roger Federer can keep up the momentum stateside following his record-breaking Wimbledon triumph. From spots around the the grounds you can also sit and unwind between matches at

Not able to attend this year's event? You can still try the Honey Deuce for yourself as it will be served at several New York hot spots, around the city like InterContinental New York Barclay and Benjamin’s Steakhouse in Manhattan which will be opening a pop-up location at Arthur Ashe Stadium during the U.S. Open this year or you can get your very own Honey Deuce Cocktail Kit, which serves 4.

Don't feel like going out, or want to host a viewing party yourself, make your guests feel like they're at the event by making the cocktail yourself.
