Summary
- French Open's Ace Royal offers champagne elegance over US Open's Honey Deuce.
- Wimbledon's Pimm's Cup and strawberries are a classic pairing.
- Australian Open lacks an official signature cocktail.
Tennis Grand Slams are embracing signature cocktails, with the French Open featuring the elegant Ace Royal. This champagne-based drink offers a sophisticated option compared to the US Open's popular Honey Deuce. The Ace Royal, a vibrant green beverage, includes lime, simple syrup, basil, cucumber, and champagne, costing between 12 and 16 euros.
Spectators at Wimbledon traditionally savor the Pimm's Cup, a gin-based liqueur mixed with lemonade and fruits, often accompanied by strawberries and cream. A Pimm's Cup at Wimbledon costs £12.50, with pitchers available for sharing.
In contrast, the Australian Open is the sole Grand Slam event without an official signature cocktail, despite its lively atmosphere. While beverages like the Illusion Shaker are popular in Melbourne, no single drink has been designated for the tournament.
