Watching Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff face off from home? Here’s how to make your own Honey Deuce, the US Open’s signature $23 cocktail.

When Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff face off in their highly anticipated rematch at the US Open on Labor Day, fans at home might need a stiff drink to take the edge off.

There would be no better choice than the tournament’s official cocktail: the Grey Goose Honey Deuce.

The iconic $23 cocktail has become synonymous with the tournament and a bona fide hit with fans, who purchased over 556,000 glasses at the tournament in 2024. That’s about $12.8 million in sales.

There are several ways to watch this year’s tournament from home, so check out Business Insider’s viewing guide for tips. And here’s how to make your own Honey Deuce at home, too.

The Honey Deuce only needs four ingredients.

Fortunately, the Honey Deuce is simple to make.

You’ll need:

• 1 ¼ oz of Grey Goose vodka
• 3 oz of lemonade
• ½ oz of raspberry liqueur
• Honeydew melon

You’ll also need a melon baller or something similar and small skewers.

Cut the melon and freeze the melon balls.

After cutting the honeydew in half and discarding the seeds, scoop out the melon using a melon baller.

The recipe calls for frozen honeydew melon balls, so place them in the freezer for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Grey Goose suggests chilling your glass beforehand, so feel free to let that sit in the freezer or refrigerator, too.

It’s Grey Goose time!

Grab your chilled glass and fill it with ice before adding Grey Goose vodka. Then, pour the lemonade and raspberry liquor into the glass.

Add the garnish.

Skewer one or more melon balls to use as a garnish for the cocktail.

The Honey Deuce is the perfect summer drink.

The Honey Deuce tastes like summer in New York City.

It’s light, sweet, and the delightful citrus taste pairs well with the melon balls. The frozen melon balls were my favorite part.

Although I didn’t snag tickets to the US Open this year, sipping the official cocktail on a warm August day in my backyard is a pretty good trade-off. Although I had to purchase the ingredients and assemble the melon balls, creating the actual drink took less than three minutes.

When Osaka and Gauff officially face off on Monday, I’ll be tuned in with a Honey Deuce by my side.
