One of the most social media-friendly cocktails is being sold at a high rate every day at the US Open – and the numbers prove how successful it is.<\/p>\n

To beat the summer heat in Flushing Meadows, tennis fans often turn to the ‘Honey Deuce’ – a cocktail with Grey Goose vodka, lemonade, and raspberry liqueur and topped with three Honeydew melon balls.<\/p>\n

It’s such a popular drink that the cups they’re served in become collectors items – while famous fans, like Taylor Swift, have been seen knocking back the refreshing beverage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite the outrageous $23 price tag, it didn’t stop fans in 2024 from buying the drink in droves at a reported rate of one drink sold every 1.5 seconds.<\/p>\n

According to numbers from sports business expert Joe Pompliano<\/a>, the US Open sold 556,782 Honey Deuce cocktails last year.<\/p>\n

Crunching the numbers, that means that despite raising the price by a dollar from 2023, the tournament still sold $12.8million in cocktails.<\/p>\n

The drink was created for the tournament back in 2006 and has become incredibly popular ever since.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Celebrities like Swift, Jason Sudeikis, and James Corden have been photographed enjoying the drink in past tournaments.<\/p>\n

Even tennis icon Serena Williams was pleasantly surprised when trying the cocktail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So popular is the drink that last year, video of a man scooping melons to make the iconic ‘tennis ball’ garnish went viral<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With the tournament in full swing, the tournament is surely on track to break their own record this year.<\/p>\n
