Where To Sip U.S. Open's Honey Deuce Cocktail, And The New $39 Watermelon Slice
If you've ever been to the U.S. Open in Queens, you know there's one thing more ubiquitous than flashy outfits and celebrity sunglasses: that pale pink drink in a collectible cup — the Honey Deuce cocktail. It's the courtside cocktail, and it's been holding court since 2007, when Grey Goose decided the tournament needed a signature sip. Enter Nick Mautone, a mixologist-slash-restaurant pro, who spotted a honeydew melon at a farmer's market and thought, 'Well, that looks like a tennis ball… and also like summer.' Fast-forward nearly two decades, and the Honey Deuce, a mix of Grey Goose vodka, lemonade, Chambord raspberry liqueur, and three perfectly scooped melon 'tennis balls' is basically what the Mint Julep is to the Kentucky Derby—an absolute right of passage if you go. The Honey Deuce: The US Open's $12.8 Million Cocktail Last year, the U.S. Open official cocktail hit a whole new record: more than a half-million Honey Deuces sold at $23 each, raking in a jaw-dropping $12.8 million. That's enough to pay both singles champions their $3.6 million prize money… and still have millions left over for more drinks. Since its debut 19 years ago, over 2.2 million Honey Deuces have been poured, each one served in a commemorative cup printed with past champions' names — a collectible fans guard like it's a Grand Slam trophy. And at-home imbibers are joining in the fun too. During the 2024 U.S. Open, Total Wine reported an 800% increase in sales of Honey Deuce's main ingredients, such as Chambord and Grey Goose vodka. At the U.S. Open, you'll find them all over the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, or skip the lines at one of the 'Honey Deuce Express' bars. Many Big Apple bars, restaurants and hotels tend to feature it on their drink menus as well, such as STK restaurants, InterContinental New York Barclay and Seaport's South Plaza Bar (served in official U.S. Open glassware). Serena Williams tried her very first one last year, sharing her review on TikTok—cleverly renaming it the 'Honey Ace.' Even beloved Taylor Swift sipped on a Honey Deuce last year at the event. Watermelon Slice: The $39 U.S. Open Newcomer But this year, there's a flashy new contender in the drinks arena: the Watermelon Slice. Created by IHG Hotels & Resorts, this $39 (!!) cocktail is served in the most 'extra' tennis-ball-shaped stem glass you've ever seen. It's neon yellow-green, U.S. Open branded, and begging for an Instagram close-up. The drink itself? A fruity, refreshing sipper available only at Arthur Ashe Stadium's IHG Racquet Bar and select IHG hotels in NYC. Like the Honey Deuce, its name nods to tennis — a 'slice' being that tricky, spin-heavy shot that can leave opponents scrambling. Sure, the price tag might make you blink, but here's the thing: you're not just buying a drink, you're buying a keepsake and a moment. And in true U.S. Open style, exclusivity is part of the thrill. Will the Watermelon Slice match the Honey Deuce's legendary status? That's the $12.8 million question. Below is a your guide to tennis-themed cocktails in New York City and beyond, plus a few pop-up U.S. Open events: Where to Find Honey Deuce in NYC Beyond the Stadium A playful nod to tennis, this bittersweet and bright cocktail mixes Jim Beam Bourbon, Aperol, house-made cinnamon syrup, and fresh lemon.

'We decided on a martini is because Chris (Banana's Co-founder) and his mother attend the US Open annually,' says Dania Kim, Beverage Director at Bananas. 'She loves tea but only drinks Poland Springs during the tournament. Chris only always wants vodka, but the request is always rejected.' Kim's creation is win-win for both.
