The Honey Dink

Move over, Honey Deuce — there’s a new courtside cocktail in town, and it’s serving dink energy.

Introducing the Honey Dink: a zesty twist on the U.S. Open’s signature sip, remixed for the pickleball crowd. We swapped raspberry for grapefruit (because we’re bold like that) and finished it with the classiest garnish known to humankind — a tiny plastic pickleball. No, it’s not edible. Yes, it’s elite.

Why we love it:
It’s refreshing, a little cheeky, and practically made for a post-rec-match toast. Equal parts sweet and sassy — just like your favorite doubles partner.

Recipe:

• 1.5 oz vodka (or your spirit of choice — sponsorships welcome)

• 2 oz fresh lemonade

• 1 oz grapefruit juice or grapefruit liqueur

• Shake and pour over ice

• Garnish with a mini plastic pickleball (and a wink)

Soon to be the official drink of the Pickleball U.S. Open. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
