The U.S. Open tennis tournament features a commemorative cup adorned with the names of all men’s and women’s champions since 1968. This cup has become a popular keepsake for fans to take home. The tournament’s signature cocktail, the Deuce, is a major attraction, generating nearly $10 million in revenue last year and outselling the combined prize money awarded to the winners of the men’s and women’s tournaments.
The cost of the cocktail has increased over the years and currently stands at $23, marking the sixth price hike since 2012. To prepare the Deuce, start by chilling a glass and filling it with ice. Then, add vodka, fresh lemonade, and raspberry liqueur in measured amounts.
Finally, garnish the cocktail with a skewer of one or more frozen honeydew melon balls. “It’s visually a fun thing to drink at a tennis match,” said a spectator of the iconic cocktail, encapsulating the appeal of the Deuce at the U.S. Open.
