The sports world is gearing up for another big event as the stars of the tennis world converge on New York, as the U.S. Open is set to begin next week. To celebrate, renowned vodka brand Grey Goose is teaming up with tennis star Frances Tiafoe and is launching a signature cocktail in honor of the event.

Grey Goose is known for its partnerships with celebrities, and Tiafoe is known for his fun style and sartorial elegance both on and off the court, so it makes for a natural partnership. “For me, style has always been another way to bring an upbeat energy to the court and have fun with it,” said Tiafoe. “Grey Goose is all about bringing that same energy to the U.S. Open, and any fan of the tournament knows how iconic the Honey Deuce is. We had so much fun making this campaign and I’m excited to celebrate this U.S. Open season with Grey Goose.”

How to make a Solo en el Sur, a celebratory summer cocktail
Summer calls for melon drinks
Solo en el Sur cocktail.

Summer is officially here at that calls for fruit-forward cocktails. We love this option from Adiõs in Birmingham, Alabama, as it focuses on one of our favorite summer flavors in watermelon. It's a great Campari cocktail that takes on added notes from tequila, saline solution, and more.
Solo en el Sur

A dazzling cocktail, the Solo en el Sur comes to us courtesy of José Medina Camacho of Adiõs. It's a fetching red in the glass and offers the right amount of bitterness to offset the ripe watermelon notes. Which tequila to use? They suggest Altos Reposado. For the watermelon garnish, they suggest fruit that's not too ripe (and you can even pickle the rind).

I never planned on getting into smoking; I had a basic gas grill, no fancy add-ons, and no clue what I was doing. But after trying a few simple techniques and picking up a couple of affordable tools, I realized that smoking food on a gas grill was more doable than I thought. You don’t need to spend hundreds on a full smoker setup to enjoy the rich, slow-cooked flavors of real wood smoke. With the right accessories, your existing gas grill can do a lot more than just burgers and hot dogs. These budget-friendly tools make it easier to get great results without overcomplicating the process.
