The sports world is gearing up for another big event as the stars of the tennis world converge on New York, as the U.S. Open is set to begin next week. To celebrate, renowned vodka brand Grey Goose is teaming up with tennis star Frances Tiafoe and is launching a signature cocktail in honor of the event.

Grey Goose is known for its partnerships with celebrities, and Tiafoe is known for his fun style and sartorial elegance both on and off the court, so it makes for a natural partnership. “For me, style has always been another way to bring an upbeat energy to the court and have fun with it,” said Tiafoe. “Grey Goose is all about bringing that same energy to the U.S. Open, and any fan of the tournament knows how iconic the Honey Deuce is. We had so much fun making this campaign and I’m excited to celebrate this U.S. Open season with Grey Goose.”

Cognac is a French spirit with a fancy reputation. This type of brandy is made from grapes, and is traditionally French, with an emphasis placed on using high quality varietals and traditional methods. And it can be pricey too -- all of which can make it a bit intimidating for your average home bartender to play with. However, you needn't be afraid of mixing with cognac -- in fact, its bold spirituous qualities make it perfect for use in a range of classic cocktails, and it adds great depth and flavor.

If you're looking for some ways to make use of cognac then these cozy recipes from Cognac Park are just the ticket. The brand offers small batch, handmade cognacs with flavors showing off the terroir of their origins, and the cocktail recipes incorporate ingredients with bold flavors like triple sec, Campari, vermouth, and Benedictine to match up. These would make great introductions to the world of cognac if you're new to the spirit, so don't be afraid to try working with something new.

If you're doing Dry January this year then you don't just have to stick to water and sodas all month -- you might want to look into some of the options available for non-alcoholic cocktails too.

While there are plenty of great drinks options which use ingredients like fruit juices, shrubs, and sodas, one great option for the cocktail lover is to look into non-alcoholic spirits. Options like Fluère Spiced Cane, a rum alternative, or Damrak Virgin, a gin alternative, are distilled to have the flavor and drinking qualities of a spirit but without the alcohol. That makes it dead easy to swap these into classic cocktails, so you can enjoy a classic drink without the booze.
