There are three important components in a perfect Honey Deuce. The first is raspberry liqueur. This gives the drink its iconic pink color and a bit of berry tartness. Secondly, you need lemonade, and while store-bought works totally great, homemade is even better. You could even use limeade if you prefer! Lastly, you need some honeydew. Not only is the topping of honeydew a nice, melon-y treat for when you’re finished drinking, but using a melon baller helps to make the little pieces of melon look like tennis balls.
