The US Open has kicked off its 146th edition, bringing with it the popular honey deuce cocktail, a refreshing mix of vodka, lemonade, raspberry liqueur, and honeydew melon balls. This drink has become a staple at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, with over 740,000 sold in 2025 alone. The event also features a diverse food selection, including barbecue and lobster rolls, across 39 concession stands.
Other sporting events also boast signature foods and drinks, such as the mint julep at the Kentucky Derby and strawberries and cream at Wimbledon. These items enhance the overall experience for attendees and have become integral to the identity of their respective events.
