My Honey Deuce
The Honey Deuce, the official cocktail of the US Open, is a refreshing mix of vodka, lemonade, and raspberry liqueur served with three melon balls. Since I couldn't make it to New York this year, nor did I have $22 to spend on a cocktail 😉, I decided to create my own version at home. This Honey Deuce recipe is my take on the classic. Easy to make, perfectly chilled, and ideal for sipping on a hot day while watching the matches.

As you can see, I opted to use my cookie cutters to make a cute airplane and whimsical circle melon cut outs.Â
