Last year, a whopping 450,000+ Honey Deuces were served during the U.S. Open’s two-week run! This year, the cocktail is expected to rake in more than $10 million in sales! 💰 And get this: to date, over 2.2 million Honey Deuce cocktails have been sold! 🍹🍹🍹🍹

Match point, indeed!

When did the US Open become New York's hottest club?

I mean, $24 drinks? Designer sunglasses? Are we watching tennis or auditioning for "Real Housewives of the Tennis Court"? 😂 And this buzz got me thinking about all the iconic drinks and snacks at sporting events. You know, the ones that make you go, “I could make this at home for a fraction of the price, but... tradition!”

Honey Deuce (US Open)

Introduced in 2007, this vodka-based cocktail with its signature melon ball “tennis ball” (so cute right?) has become the official drink of the US Open, selling over 2.2 million to date!

Cracker Jacks (Baseball)

⚾ Because nothing says “America's pastime” like caramel-coated popcorn and peanuts with a surprise toy inside. It’s been a ballpark favorite since 1908, immortalized in the classic “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” song!

Strawberries & Cream + Pimm’s Cup (Wimbledon)

🍓Strawberries have been served at Wimbledon since its first tournament in 1877. The Pimm’s Cup, a gin-based cocktail, became popular at Wimbledon in the 1970s, though it dates back to 1823 in London.

Mint Julep (Kentucky Derby)

🐎 This bourbon-based cocktail became the official drink of the Kentucky Derby in 1938, but its history at the race dates back to 1875. Over 120,000 are served during the two-day event!

PB & Chocolate Milkshake (The Masters Golf Tournament)

Who knew golfers had such a sweet tooth? Known as the “Georgia Peach,” this milkshake has been a tradition at Augusta National since the 1950s. Despite its nickname, it doesn't contain any peaches - just peanut butter and chocolate goodness!

Now, for those of us who can’t (or don’t want to) drop $24 on a single drink (hello, college fund!), here’s how to make your own Honey Deuce at home.
