As the US Open gets underway this weekend, tennis fans will head to New York to get a glimpse of some of the world’s best players in the final Grand Slam of the year. But the action within the tramlines won’t be the only thing leaving court-goers drooling when you consider the vast variety of delicacies on offer as part of the experience.
Express Sport offers a glance at the sort of prices that those descending on Flushing Meadows will be paying for food and drink at this year’s US Open. Hint: It won’t be a cheap day out…
Want something a little more cheeky? There is plenty of choice.
A Honey Deuce mixer, which contains Grey Goose vodka, Raspberry Liqueur, Lemonade and three Honeydew Melon Balls, will set you back £17 ($23).
Bit hot? Why not try a frozen variation – which one can only presume is like a Slushy – for the same price?
There are also £14.79 ($20) options in The First Serve and Match Point.
The First Serve: Grey Goose Le Citron, Bloody Mary Mix, Lime and Celery Salt.
Match Point: Grey Goose La Poire, Ginger Beer and Lime.
The final Grey Goose offering is an Essences Fizz, also £14.79, which mixes Grey Goose Essences and soda water.
White Peach and Rosemary, Watermelon and Basil, and Strawberry and Lemongrass are the flavour combinations there.

More of a beer person? That’s no issue…
A 16oz Heineken – which is just less than a pint, for the pub-goers out there, costs an eye-watering £11.83 ($16).
Yes, you read that right. A 16oz Heineken Silver comes at the same cost.
Meanwhile, an 11.2oz Heineken 0.0, the alcohol-free variation, demands £8.87 ($12). Less alcohol, and less lager.
Alternatively, tennis fans can try a ‘domestic beer’. That’s all the information we have, apart from the fact that it costs £11.09 ($15).
In this writer’s case, beer equals a snack to go with it. Kettle Chips are also on offer for £5.18 ($7). The number of crisps that gets you is unconfirmed.
