Serena Williams is living her best life at the 2024 US Open, and she has TikTok to prove it. The tennis star, six-time champion in New York, has not only been supporting her long-time friend Grigor Dimitrov, but also having new experiences at the tournament as a spectator. One of them? Giving her verdict on the famous Honey Deuce cocktail.
In a video shared on her TikTok account, Williams had the best reaction to trying the iconic US Open drink for the first time. “Ok, so, I’m at the US Open and I’m having the famous Honey Deuce drink. And everyone was like ‘Have you ever had one?’ and I was like ‘No, because I’ve always been playing,’” she said.
After trying the drink, Williams jokingly said “Honey, that’s not deuce. That’s called Honey Ad-In” or “Honey Ace’, let’s rename it cause it’s good.” Can the 23-time Grand Slam champion make the rename happen? We doubt it, but fans loved her reaction.
