The US Open has an official cocktail called the Honey Deuce. It started in 2006 and is made with vodka, lemonade, raspberry liqueur, and honeydew melon balls that resemble tennis balls.

It can be considered an iconic drink like the Mint Julep at the Kentucky Derby. We got one to see what it was about. It tastes great, but you’ll pay for it.

Last year, it cost $23 for the drink, although you can keep the souvenir cup. We kept the cup and have it in our cupboard, where it takes up space.
