The Moët Serve has been announced by Moët & Chandon as a Champagne-based cocktail that pays homage to the US Open and reinforces the brand's connection with tennis championships.
The cocktail serve prioritizes a refreshing recipe that's meant to be taken on the go and is served in a tennis ball-shaped can for a playful, sport-inspired experience. The drink celebrates the brand's return as the US Open's official Champagne and takes a cheeky approach that's inherently sporty, but also chic enough to be welcomed by discerning fans alike. Match-goers will be able to find the cocktail at the Moët & Chandon Club de Tennis Bar.
President and CEO Sibylle Scherer spoke on The Moët Serve saying, "We are honored to return as the official champagne of the US Open, a tournament whose energy, elegance and shared sense of emotion are naturally aligned with Moët & Chandon. For decades, the Maison has celebrated the world of tennis, and in 2026 we are delighted to bring a new sense of play, style and celebration to the tournament.”
