After my Russian and I missed our flight to Portugal, we decided to turn lemons into lemonade and spend the day at the U.S. Open.
It was all very last minute – we made the decision to go just 2 hours before the match was scheduled to start and purchased our tickets in the security line!
We made it just in time to catch the end of a women’s doubles match and enjoy a signature Honeydeuce cocktail and some small bites in the Centurion Lounge (yet another reason I LOVE my Amex Platinum card!) before making our way to the main court for the men’s quarterfinal.
We had a lovely day watching excellent tennis and sipping our honeydeuces before it was time to head back to the airport for our flight to Lisbon.
Since there are still a few days left in the tournament, I thought it’d be fun to share the U.S. Open’s signature cocktail recipe so you can sip while enjoying the finals this weekend! Below is the wend inspired recipe: The Honeydeuce!
