Witnessing Osaka vs. Gauff at Home? Craft the US Open's Famous Honey Deuce, a $23 Delight.

As you prepare to watch Naomi Osaka take on Coco Gauff in their eagerly awaited rematch at the US Open this Labor Day, perhaps you’ll need a flavorful drink to enhance the experience.

The perfect selection is the event’s celebrated cocktail: the Grey Goose Honey Deuce.

This $23 cocktail has achieved iconic status, deeply intertwined with the tournament's spirit, selling over 556,000 times in 2024, raking in approximately $12.8 million.

With several options to enjoy the tournament from the comfort of your home, check Business Insider’s handy guide. And, here’s how to mix up your own Honey Deuce at home.

Four Ingredients for Your Honey Deuce.

Crafting the Honey Deuce is a breeze.

Here's what you need:

A melon baller or similar tool is also required, plus some small skewers.

Prep the Melon and Freeze.

Slice your honeydew in half, remove the seeds, and using a melon baller, scoop out rounds of melon.

The recipe demands these melon balls to be frozen, ideally for 10 to 15 minutes.

Grey Goose advises chilling your cocktail glass in advance, so let it cool in your freezer or fridge.

Time for a Taste of Grey Goose!

Take your cooled glass, fill it with ice, add the Grey Goose vodka, and follow with lemonade and raspberry liqueur.

Garnish and Enjoy.

Thread one or more melon balls onto skewers to finish your drink elegantly.

A Refreshing Sip of Summer: The Honey Deuce.

Upon tasting, the Honey Deuce embodies the essence of a New York City summer.

Light and sweet, the citrus undertones complement the melon perfectly. My favorite part was the chilled melon balls.

Even without tickets to this year's US Open, enjoying the signature cocktail on a sunny August afternoon at home feels like an excellent alternative. The drink preparation was quick, under three minutes, after gathering the ingredients and prepping the melon.

As Osaka and Gauff face each other on Monday, I’ll be watching with a Honey Deuce in hand.
