Grabbing them by hand is the way i was taught. I know most use a gig. I think catching 'em was more fun than eating them. Did you ever go with your dad and did you eat them?

Never went but have eaten.

Honey deuce is an alcoholic cocktail, consisting primarily of vodka, lemonade, raspberry liqueur, and skewered balls of honeydew melon. Vaughn Vreeland of The New York Times categorizes it as a spiked lemonade or a punch.

It is the signature cocktail of the US Open tennis tournament. As of September 2024 the Grey Goose vodka company estimated sales of over 2.2 million drinks to tennis fans in a collectible acrylic cup. In 2024, it is priced at $23 per drink.It was created by restaurateur Nick Malone, with the melon balls cut to resemble green tennis balls. Two counterparts in tennis worldwide are the Pimm's cup for Wimbledon, and champagne for the French Open. It is not known if the U. S. Open will follow the lead of the French Open by banning alcohol in the stands because it makes the fans too rowdy.
