A traveler captured a moment of celebration at a New York airport lounge, raising a pink cocktail in a toast. The video, shared on TikTok, highlights a specific seasonal offering tied to a major sporting event. The creator, identified on the platform as kennedytrull, presented the drink as a public service announcement for fellow travelers.
The clip opens with a view of two cocktails on a dark table. Each drink is a light pink hue, filled with ice and topped with a white foam. They are garnished with a green melon ball and a small, wooden stirrer shaped like a tennis racket. In the background, a laptop and a backpack are visible.
On-screen text appears over the scene, reading, “PSA the amex lounge at JFK is currently serving honey deuces during the US open.” Animated yellow tennis ball emojis and sparkling star emojis animate above the text. The camera then shows two hands lifting the glasses for a toast. One hand has a star-patterned manicure. The video is set to upbeat music.
The ‘Honey Deuce’ is presented as a signature US Open cocktail
The creator’s video caption states, “cheers to my first honey deuce even if it is at JFK (a win is a win) 🤗 #USOpen #tennis #jfk #newyork #amex”. The “Honey Deuce” is widely known as the signature cocktail of the US Open tennis tournament. The video suggests the drink is being served at the American Express Centurion Lounge at John F. Kennedy International Airport during the tournament period.
The on-screen text frames the information as a “PSA,” or public service announcement, for others traveling during the event. The visual presentation, with the tennis racket stirrer and tennis ball emojis, directly links the drink to the ongoing US Open. The setting appears to be inside the airport lounge, with the traveler seemingly enjoying the offering before or after a flight.
The video does not specify how long the cocktail will be available at the lounge. It focuses on the fact that it is being served during the tournament. The creator’s toast and caption suggest a personal experience of trying the drink for the first time in this specific airport setting.
Viewers in the comments share their own experiences and opinions
The video sparked a discussion in the comments section, with viewers sharing their own thoughts on the drink and the lounge’s offering. One commenter expressed excitement about the drink’s availability, writing, “Omg do you know for how long? According to the video’s creator, flying in/out in Sept! During the finals weekend but sadly no tickets :(“
Other comments focused on the taste of the cocktail itself. One person remarked, “Way too much raspberry liqueur.” Another stated, “there super sweet.” In contrast, a different viewer offered a positive assessment, commenting, “That’s an awesome drink!!”
Several commenters indicated that this is a recurring seasonal offering. One person noted, “They do this every year. I was so mad they didn’t have it last week when I was at the lounge.” The sentiment of wanting to visit was captured in another comment that read, “TAKE ME THERE TAKE ME THERE”. The creator, kennedytrull, did not appear to reply to these comments in the provided view.
