For more than 100 years, sports fans around the world have flocked to Queens, NY to watch best in class tennis at the iconic US Open. While the event took place without spectators last year due to COVID-19, this summer, fans are headed back to Arthur Ashe stadium to celebrate the return of the true US Open experience: cheering from the stands with the tournament’s signature Honey Deuce cocktail in hand.
