Sparkling Honey Deuce Cocktail

I’d call that Deuce 🎾! A Honey Deuce, that is! This viral cocktail is taking the internet by storm and for good reason - it’s refreshing, flavourful and absolutely delicious. The Honey Deuce is the signature or official drink of the U.S. Open. This grand slam of a cocktail is made using vodka (Grey Goose, to be exact), raspberry liqueur and freshly squeezed lemonade. It’s garnished with a cocktail skewer of honeydew melon balls - giving off total tennis vibes!

You don’t have to go to the U.S. Open to enjoy this delicious drink! All you need is some vodka (preferably, Grey Goose, but anything goes), some raspberry liqueur (or Chambord) and homemade or store-bought lemonade. My Sparkling Honey Deuce Cocktail recipe is a spin on the classic drink and includes a splash of watermelon-flavoured sparkling water. The sparkling water adds a slight melon flavour to the cocktail and a little sparkle or effervescence with every sip! Top off the drink with a cocktail skewer, adorned with 4 honeydew melon balls, and you’re all set! Game, set, match! 🏆

This no-fuss cocktail comes together in under 5 minutes, uses 5 simple ingredients and couldn’t be easier to make! So, let me show you how it’s done. Cheers!
