In a chilled Collins glass, add vodka, lemonade, and raspberry liqueur.

What Other Garnishes Can I Use?
While honeydew melon is the classic choice, you can get creative! Try using watermelon or cantaloupe for a different flavor and color profile. Just make sure they resemble tennis balls!
Can I Make a Non-Alcoholic Version of the Honey Deuce?
Absolutely! For a non-alcoholic version, swap out the vodka for sparkling water or a lemon-lime soda. Instead of raspberry liqueur, you can use raspberry syrup for that sweet kick.
