Australia’s number one super-premium spirit, Grey Goose, is serving up not one, but two unmissable aces at this year’s Australian Open.
As the tournament’s new Official Vodka partner, the French powerhouse debuts the Grey Goose Lemon Ace cocktail – capturing the zest of the Australian summer and all you love about Grey Goose.
Exclusively crafted for the Australian Open, the Grey Goose Lemon Ace delivers a mix of Grey Goose original vodka, passionfruit syrup, and sparkling lemonade. If opting for the signature serve, the Grey Goose Lemon Ace is best enjoyed over ice with a zesty lemon ball and a sprig of fresh mint. It’s the quintessential summer cocktail for the sun-soaked courts of Melbourne Park.
As for where to enjoy it – fans looking to immerse themselves in the tournament’s atmosphere can elevate their experience with Grey Goose’s two signature hospitality offerings.
First up is the Grey Goose Rooftop at the Courtside Bar overlooking the live action on Court 6. This first-floor bar is accessible to Ground Pass holders, offering the perfect vantage point to enjoy a freshly mixed Grey Goose Lemon Ace or choose from a curated menu of signature Grey Goose cocktails. The chic rooftop ambiance holds right through from sunlit afternoon matches to evening showdowns, and those feeling peckish can nab a bite from the tasty food menu.
For those craving a little reprieve from the crowds and the heat, the Grey Goose Balcony Bar at Club 1905 features a slightly more premium menu highlighted by Classic Grey Goose Martinis and exclusive serves of the brand’s new prestige vodka, Grey Goose Altius. It’s a nod to the glamour and sophistication you might expect from Wimbledon, in the classically relaxed Australian Open setting. Be sure to get in quick as these premium hospitality dining and ticket packages sell out way in advance of the start of the tournament.
If you haven’t already, you can taste the Grey Goose Lemon Ace cocktail throughout the grounds of the AO, at selected venues across Sydney (Centennial Homestead) or Melbourne (Pink Lemonade, Afloat, Soho, Duke of Wellington, Flour Child Richmond and Penny Young) or even in the comfort of your own home with the recipe below.
