Grey [Goose](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frances-tiafoe) has served as a sponsor of the US Open since 1987 and this year, the vodka brand is giving fans the chance to get their hands on a limited-edition bottle and cocktail kit via [Cocktail Courier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aperol-perfect-serve-kit). The US Open bottle prominently features a tennis racket and ball, with bright yellow accents that complement the classic blue of the brand.

The [Honey](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barreled-bee-buzz-sticks) Deuce cocktail is a special serve made with the brand's vodka, lemonade, and raspberry liqueur, garnished with tennis-inspired honeydew melon balls. The ready-to-drink version of this cocktail can be found in cans that remind of tennis ball packaging. The complete cocktail kit also shares a 4-pack cardboard carrier, four straws and a branded insulated tote bag.
