Summary
The U.S. Open at JFK Airport’s Amex Lounge is serving the Honey Deuce, the tournament’s signature drink. A traveler, Kennedy Trull, posted a video of the drink, which sparked comments about missing out. The Honey Deuce, introduced in 2007, is a pink cocktail with honeydew melon skewers. It has become a cultural symbol and is featured in media and social posts. The U.S. Open runs from August 30 to September 13.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
People line up for a drink that’s just lemonade and vodka. The same drink, same cup, same year. It’s not a cocktail, it’s a status symbol. The same thing happens every year, but it’s always new. The Honey Deuce is the only thing people remember.
Original observation: A drink that’s basically a juice box, but you have to pay $15 for it.
