The Honey Deuce was created by Nick Mautone, Grey Goose's Master Mixologist and NYC Restaurateur, to serve as the official cocktail of the 2009 US Open Tennis Championship.
The cocktail is a great mix of simple flavors and is perfectly refreshing for those long days watching some exciting tennis action. It is also up for interpretation and opens up nicely with a variety of Chambord substitutes with a suggested blackberry cordial or cherry brandy being two of the many amazing possibilities. You may also be tempted to skip the melon ball garnish, but it is the perfect finishing touch and almost necessary.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 parts Grey Goose Vodka
- fresh squeezed lemonade
- 1/2 part Chambord or premium raspberry liqueur
- crushed ice
- honeydew melon balls for garnish
Preparation:
- Fill chilled highball glass with crushed ice and add GREY GOOSE Vodka.
- Top with lemonade to just below the rim and then add Chambord.
- Garnish with honeydew melon balls.
