❤️Why you’ll love it!

What’s more refreshing than this classic U.S. Open sipper? This frozen version from Greygoose combines vodka, lemonade, raspberry liqueur, and ice in a blender–garnished with honeydew melon balls.

  • It’s cold and sweet. The lemonade is a great ‘match’ with raspberry liqueur for this ace tennis cocktail.
  • It’s so easy, and refreshing. With just four ingredients (including store-bought lemonade), you can make a refreshing frozen tennis cocktail in 2 minutes or less.

How to make a Frozen Honey Deuce

This drink comes together quickly for a festive way to watch a tennis game.

To make it, fill a highball glass with ice. Add vodka, then top with lemonade and raspberry liqueur. Garnish with honeydew melon balls. Blend with plenty of ice and serve immediately!

Ingredients for a Frozen Honey Deuce

This cool, fruity, refreshing cocktail is perfectly balanced—a little tart, a little sweet, and super refreshing. To make this drink, you’ll need:

  • Vodka: Preferably Grey Goose, but can be substituted with a vodka of similar quality.
  • Lemonade: Adds a fruity citrus taste to the drink. I use homemade.
  • Raspberry liqueur: Preferably Chambord for a mild, fruity flavor.
  • Ice: Plenty of ice for blending.
  • Honeydew melon balls: For a sweet, tennis-inspired touch.

Frozen Honey Deuce tips

Here’s how to take this drink to the next level!

  • This drink calls for Greygoose vodka. But I use a good budget vodka which works perfectly. You don’t have to splurge–unless you want to!
  • I recommend putting the vodka in the freezer for ultimate chill—I find that this helps the drink melt slower.
  • I use a rocks glass! You can also serve this drink in a highball glass.
  • I always make the glass is ice cold too.
  • Refrigerate the honeydew melon garnish before serving!
  • I opt for homemade lemonade if I can. It’s helps me control the sweetness.

🍈How to scale up for a party

This recipe as written is for 1 drink, but let’s face it, this drink is perfect to share! Here’s how I alter it for a party:

  • Figure out how many people are coming to your party and adjust the servings — For example if you’re having 10 people at your party, you’ll need to 10x this recipe.
  • Pour into glasses — divide the pitcher contents equally among the glasses.
  • Garnish — I add plenty of green honeydew melon balls to my batch!
  • Serve immediately – This drink melts fast so I pour it into individual glasses rather than a pitcher.

🧊 My secret to making a perfectly smooth Frozen Honey Deuce cocktail
