The beginning of the 2019 US Open tennis tournament today brings not only the start of the competition between the top players from all over the world but also the return of the iconic official cocktail of the event: the Honey Deuce!

Tournament attendees have been sipping on the Grey Goose vodka drink since it was first introduced in 2007, with its smooth and fruity taste making it the perfect refreshment for spectators to enjoy while sitting in the New York City sun, taking in the US Open matches.

Don’t worry if you’re not able to make it out to the Grand Slam event this year, which runs from today through Sept. 8, though, because the delicious alcoholic concoction can be easily whipped up at home. Plus, with Grey Goose vodka’s new, first-ever, limited-edition US Open bottle now available, the tennis theme of the recipe just got kicked up a few more notches.
