Every summer, as the world’s best players take the court in New York, one cocktail steals the spotlight: the Honey Deuce. First poured at the US Open in 2007, this refreshing mix of vodka, lemonade, Chambord, and honeydew “tennis balls” has become just as iconic as the matches themselves—over a million have been served courtside.

It’s bright, it’s playful, and it’s surprisingly simple to make at home. All you need is the right glass, a melon baller, and a little crushed ice to recreate this grand slam sip in your own kitchen. Consider it your ticket to the Open, no matter where you’re watching.

• 1 ¼ oz Grey Goose Vodka (or your favorite vodka)
• 3 oz Fresh Lemonade
• ½ oz Chambord (raspberry liqueur)
• Frozen honeydew melon balls (to garnish)

1. Fill a tall glass with crushed ice.
2. Add vodka and lemonade, then top with Chambord.
3. Garnish with 3 frozen honeydew melon balls — your mini “tennis balls.”
4. Serve immediately and sip courtside (or couch-side).
