History

A frozen riff on Nick Mautone's original Honey Deuce cocktail created in 2016 for the US Open tennis tournament.

Nick was working as brand ambassador for Grey Goose Vodka, which had just become vodka sponsor of the United States Tennis Association's Open tennis tournament. One evening, soon after being tasked with creating the event's official cocktail, he noticed that honeydew melon balls resembled tiny tennis balls, inspiring his Grey Goose Vodka-based cocktail.
