PIMMs enjoyed the sun in Wimbledon earlier this summer. Now it’s time that Honey Deuce is central.
One of the two most iconic drinks in Grand Slam Tennis, Honey Deuce takes the US Open Storm again.
First of all, what is a honeyduction? It is a characteristic cocktail based on vodka also served with lemonade, raspberry liqueur, and adorned three honeydew melon chunks on a skewer that looks like tennis balls. Served in a souvenir US Open Glass that lists all last singles champions, the drink debuted in the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in 2006.
A honeyduction dating from 2012, has seen six price increases in its current $ 23 perch. It exceeds the average inflation in the United States (it would cost $ 20.33 if it had climbed against average inflation).
Despite the exorbitant costs for a relatively minimal amount of alcohol, honeydeuzen always fly off the shelf. More than 550,000 were cold during the US Open 2024, which resulted in almost $ 13 million. Although the price was increased by $ 1, around 100,000 more were sold in 2024 than during the 2023 event.
In addition to tennis, the glasses can actually offer their own source of entertainment. Yes, honeyduce towers are a staple of the American open. Drink the HD. Stack of empty glasses on top of each other. And you have a tower. Simple. The record at the current tournament may have been produced by a group of university children during a competition in Louis Armstrong Stadium between Taylor Fritz and Lloyd Harris. Their tower reached the 30-glass marking.
So, open to the US and get your hands – or your lips – on a honeyduce. It’s just the thing to do, now it matters how far back it sets your bank account.
