Moët Serve Hack: How to Make the US Open’s New Ready-To-Drink Cocktail

Everything You Need to Know About The Moët Serve

Following in the iconic footsteps of court-side legends like the Honey Deuce and the Watermelon Slice, the Moët Serve is officially taking center stage as this year’s signature cocktail at the US Open. Moët & Chandon’s new entry arrives at Arthur Ashe Stadium pre-mixed and canned inside a clear sleeve designed to mimic a three-pack of tennis balls. While it’s sold ready-to-drink on the tournament grounds, you don't need a ticket to Flushing Meadows to get a taste. With the right bottle and a simple bartender's at-home hack, you can recreate this elevated, high-low court-side pour right from your kitchen counter.

Instructions

  1. Fill a large wine glass or heavy stemless tumbler to the top with large ice cubes.
  2. Press fresh lime juice directly over the ice.
  3. Pour the chilled Moët Ice Impérial slowly over the ice to preserve its effervescence.
  4. Stir gently with a bar spoon just once to combine without knocking out the carbonation.
  5. Express the oils of a lime peel over the glass.
  6. Add fresh lime wedge for garnish.
Pro Tip
The Moët Serve relies on Moët Ice Impérial, a bottle specifically blended to achieve perfect equilibrium as the ice melts. If you can't source Ice Impérial, the DIY hack is simple: take standard Brut Champagne and stir in a quarter-ounce of simple syrup alongside the fresh lime juice.

Moët Serve Riff

For a floral, late-summer twist, add a quarter-ounce of elderflower liqueur like St-Germain to the glass before topping with Champagne. The subtle elderflower notes complement the sweet fruit profile of the Ice Impérial while giving the fresh lime a soft, aromatic lift.
