Maestro Dobel serves up new US Open partnership as the tournament's first "official tequila"

Look out, Honey Deuce. There’s a new cocktail in town at the US Open, with Maestro Dobel Tequila becoming the tournament’s first official tequila beginning with the 2023 event.

Already the official tequila at a few other ATP and WTA stops, including the Miami Open, BNP Paribas Open and Western & Southern Open, Maestro Dobel is ready to make its Grand Slam debut—along with its featured Ace Paloma cocktail (recipe below).

"As an 11th generation tequila maker, I take great pride in the mastery and precision with which we craft our award-winning Maestro Dobel tequilas. Each year, we see that same passion and dedication on display in the competition at the US Open, so we are incredibly proud to announce Maestro Dobel—creator of the world’s first Cristalino—as the first official tequila of this iconic tournament,” said Juan Dobel, Founder of Maestro Dobel Tequila.

"As the No. 1 ultra-premium tequila in Mexico and one of the fastest-growing globally, we are excited to share our range of extraordinary tequilas with tennis fans in New York, and continue the acceleration of the tequila category with an international audience.”

Maestro Dobel has also partnered with players Taylor Fritz, Aryna Sabalenka and Dana Mathewson, the highest-ranked American wheelchair tennis player, to support the brand’s US Open debut.

“The US Open has a storied and rich history driven by passion for the sport of tennis and a commitment to excellence,” said Deanne Pownall, USTA Managing Director, Corporate Partnerships. “These attributes are shared with Maestro Dobel Tequila and we are excited to introduce this legacy brand to our fans on-site, and showcase the partnership to fans around the world.”

Maestro Dobel will be featured at a branded, full-service bar inside Arthur Ashe Stadium, and branded, mobile carts across the tournament grounds, which will offer smooth and refreshing tequila cocktails, including the Maestro Dobel Ace Paloma, poured in a co-branded souvenir cup.

Here's how to serve one up at home:
