NEW YORK — It's U.S. Open season, and that means one thing beyond world-class tennis: the Honey Deuce is back. TODAY's Laura served up the tournament's beloved signature cocktail live on the show, giving fans a taste of the drink that has become as synonymous with the U.S. Open as the roar of the crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The Honey Deuce — named after the tennis term "deuce" and made with Grey Goose vodka — has been the official cocktail of the U.S. Open since 2007. Each year, hundreds of thousands of the drinks are served at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, Queens, making it one of the most consumed cocktails at any sporting event in the world.
