If you can’t make it to the US Open in person, you can definitely enjoy a honey deuce at home. The refreshing cocktail is the official drink of the prestigious tennis tournament and it’s made with a mix of vodka, raspberry liqueur and fresh lemonade topped with adorable honeydew melon balls that look just like tennis balls.
- 1 1/2 ounces vodka
- 1/2 ounce raspberry liqueur
- 3 ounces lemonade
Prep the honeydew. Use a melon baller to scoop honeydew balls. Set aside.
Mix your cocktail. Fill a cocktail glass with ice. Add vodka, raspberry liqueur and lemonade and stir with a bar spoon until cold.
Garnish & serve. Skewer 2–3 frozen honeydew melon balls on a cocktail pick and rest it on top of the glass.
To make a pitcher:
Mix 3 cups vodka, 1/2 cup raspberry liqueur and 9 cups of lemonade in a large pitcher. Stir to combine and chill until ready to serve. To keep the servings the same, each cocktail should be about 2/3 cup served over ice with garnish.
Add ice directly to glasses, not the pitcher (so it doesn’t get watered down). Calories: 185kcal Carbohydrates: 15g Protein: 0.01g Fat: 0.04g Saturated Fat: 0.02g Polyunsaturated Fat: 0.01g Sodium: 7mg Potassium: 5mg Sugar: 15g Calcium: 0.1mg Iron: 0.01mg
