In honor of Buckeye Vodka’s 10th anniversary, we asked the Dayton-based distillery to share recipes for a few celebratory cocktails. This buckeye-inspired drink is sure to become a favorite for those who love the chocolate-and-peanut-butter combination. “[It’s] more of a dessert than a casual cocktail for sipping during happy hour,” Jim Finke, founder of Buckeye Vodka says, “but we’re always ready for this decadent martini.” The flavorful rim along with the decadent Bailey’s Irish Cream make for a sweet treat to end an evening with. “Classic flavors and Ohio’s smoothest vodka make for one of the creamiest and most indulgent drinks you’ll enjoy this season.”
