GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce is our cocktail of the week

It’s sunny, it’s warm and the biggest tennis tournament in America is being played, the US Open. Did you know that there’s an official cocktail? It’s called the GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce, and it’s a refreshing version of raspberry lemonade, but a little stronger with Grey Goose vodka, as you might have guessed. The honeydew melon balls garnish perfectly replicates the iconic yellow-green tennis balls and makes you feel like you’re in the stands at Arthur Ashe Stadium while you’re at home sipping your cocktail.
