The US Open is in its round of 16, and putting aside the ATP and WTA tour clashes for a moment, something that’s drawing a lot of attention is the tournament’s classic drink: the “Honey Deuce.” It has become a favorite among several celebrities attending the fourth major of the season, with Taylor Swift being the most striking of all.
That’s right, it seems the “Love Story” singer can’t stop sipping on the Honey Deuce, the deliciously enigmatic US Open cocktail that continues to attract thousands of people to Flushing Meadows, home of the Billi Jean King Tennis Center, home of the US Open.
At US Open bars, the Honey Deuce has become more famous than Carlos Alcaraz
The drink, priced at $23, has become a celebrity favorite. But what’s being served at bars has become even more popular among fans than celebrities like Carlos Alcaraz and Naomi Osaka. And despite the star power, it won’t be a tennis player who takes home the biggest prize at the US Open.
Alcaraz reached the quarterfinals of the tournament after defeating Arthur Rinderknch and will play Jií Leheka this Tuesday. Meanwhile, Japan’s Osaka has given 2023 champion Coco Gauff the boot, so Naomi will now face Karolina Muchova, the czech tennis player who eliminated Marta Kostyuk.
This is how Taylor Swift makes the US Open Honey Deuce
Swift was spotted with one of the signature cocktails when she attended last year’s tournament with Travis Kelce. It contains Grey Goose vodka, lemonade, raspberry liqueur, and her three skewered honeydew melon balls. This gives the drink its iconic look, with the melon resembling tennis balls.
Signature drinks have become an important part of tennis tournaments, and champagne has become a prominent feature at the French Open, despite alcohol being banned in the stands at Roland Garros. Due to high demand for the Honey Deuce, it is projected to generate $13 million.
