Move over Honey Deuce—Meet the Honey Deutsch!
Watermark, the 10,000-square-foot outdoor bar and restaurant at Pier 15 in Seaport, is putting a playful spin on Oktoberfest with its newest cocktail: The Honey Deutsch. A cheeky nod to the U.S. Open’s iconic Honey Deuce, this fall sipper trades tennis balls for bratwurst, literally.
Made with bourbon, Aperol, house-made apple cordial, pumpkin, cinnamon, and lemon, the drink lands somewhere between a spiced bourbon-apple cider and a pumpkin punch. The kicker? It’s garnished with three slices of German bratwurst, making it as bold and festive as Oktoberfest itself.
