Buckeye Vodka

Directions Website

Think Local, Drink Local. Proud Sponsor of Ohio State Athletics. Please Drink Responsibly. The top shelf is never out of reach with Buckeye Vodka.

Handcrafted in the Miami Valley, Buckeye Vodka offers extraordinary quality at a reasonable price, a winning combination that reflects Ohio’s sensibilities. Our vodka, distilled with an award-winning formula in the rolling southwestern hills of Ohio, boasts a clean, smooth taste that makes it perfect for mixing or enjoying by itself. At Buckeye Vodka, we’re proud of our Ohio heritage and we hope that you’ll enjoy our vodka as part of your next, great Ohio tradition. The Spirit of Ohio really is a mindset - a sense of rock-solid determination in the face of adversity. In 2008 and 2009, during the worst economy since the Great Depression, Ohio and the entire nation was suffering. In Dayton, home of Buckeye Vodka, numerous businesses suffered and plants closed. Seeking to be a part of the solution, brother-in-law Tom Rambasek, brothers Jim and Chris Finke, and good friend and CFO Marty Clarke founded Crystal Spirits, LLC and developed the Buckeye Vodka brand from inception to finished product. Our dreams were realized in 2011, when we first brought Buckeye Vodka to market. We believe in the old adage ‘when the going gets tough, the tough get going,' and we’re committed to making a difference by investing locally to build a business that creates jobs and make a positive contribution to our local, state, and national economy. It’s from this mindset that Buckeye Vodka, “The Spirit of Ohio,” was born.

THE Espresso Martini for THE Ohio State University. Now that’s something we can raise a glass to!

We recently had the chance to try the exclusive Buckeye Espresso Martini at the 1922 Club inside Ohio Stadium, and we have to say, they know how to make a great cocktail.

Made with Buckeye Vodka, Luxardo Espresso Liqueur, vanilla and Jennings Java cold brew, it’s a pretty incredible addition to the game day experience, especially when the Buckeyes have a noon kickoff and we’ve got a whole afternoon of celebrating ahead of us.

The 1922 Club is a beautiful new way to enjoy a place that’s been home to generations of Buckeye fans, and we’re excited to have our family-owned, Dayton-made vodka featured on the menu.

As proud sponsors of Ohio State Athletics, we love seeing Buckeye Vodka become part of the traditions, celebrations and new experiences happening at the ’Shoe. If you’re spending a Saturday at the 1922 Club, we highly recommend ordering the Espresso Martini.

Cheers to Buckeye Nation, and Go Bucks!

We’ll admit it - we were on the edge of our seats for this one.

Brittany sat down at The Pilot Inn in Cincinnati for a true blind taste test: Buckeye Vodka vs. Tito’s.

No labels, no hints, just two pours and one very important question: which one actually tastes better?

We’ve been saying it for a while now: if you’re loyal to your usual vodka, try something different and surprise yourself.

Brittany did exactly that, and you’ll want to watch until the end to see which glass she picked.

Think you could tell the difference? Grab a friend and put your usual up against Buckeye in your own blind taste test.

Buckeye Vodka in the wild has been covering a lot of Ohio lately, and we love to see it.

From Saturdays inside Ohio Stadium as proud sponsors of Ohio State Athletics, to our own Jim Finke joining the conversation at Dayton’s 6888 Kitchen Presents: From Scratch Food Summit, we’ve been showing up for the people, places and communities that make our home state special.

Cleveland has been showing Buckeye Vodka some serious love and Ohio pride, too, while back in Central Ohio we had the chance to support the Little Hercules Foundation at Scioto Reserve in Dublin.

This is what being an Ohio brand means to us.

We’ve spent 15 years making Buckeye Vodka right here in Dayton, and getting to see it poured, shared and celebrated across the state never gets old.

Keep tagging us when you spot Buckeye Vodka in the wild.

We love seeing where the Spirit of Ohio turns up next.

It’s officially fall, which means it’s time to pair your Buckeye Vodka with apple c***r.

This Apple C***r Vodka Crush is about as easy as a fall cocktail gets.

Pour 1.5 oz. Buckeye Vodka and 3 oz. apple c***r over ice, top with 2 oz. ginger ale, give it a stir and you’re done.

Made right here in Dayton, 10x distilled and charcoal filtered, Buckeye Vodka brings the smooth, clean pour while apple c***r brings everything we love about this time of year.

Make one for an Ohio State Saturday, a night around the fire or whenever the c***r in your fridge is calling your name.

Football Saturday? Make one.
Friends coming over? Make a few.
Random Tuesday that could use a little fall spirit? You know what to do.

When’s the last time you surprised yourself?

We all have our usuals, especially when it comes to vodka.

Same bottle, same order, same thing we’ve been drinking forever.

We’re family owned, made right here in Dayton, distilled 10 times and charcoal filtered for a smooth, clean pour that might have you rethinking your usual.

Try Buckeye - we know you’ll surprise yourself.

POV: this is what our camera roll looks like after another Buckeye Vodka tailgate.

Another incredible Saturday at Ohio State University with Buckeye Nation, plenty of Buckeye Vodka and, of course, another Ohio State football win to make the day even better.

As proud sponsors of Ohio State Athletics, there’s something pretty special about getting to spend Saturdays in Columbus surrounded by the people who make Ohio State game day what it is.

From the tailgate to kickoff and the final score, we’re proud to be along for the ride with a homegrown vodka made right here in Ohio.

Thanks to everyone who joined us at the iconic Manahan Tailgate and raised a glass with Buckeye Vodka.

Our camera roll is full, our Buckeye pride is even fuller, and we’re already ready to do it again.

Go Bucks!

There’s a lot behind every bottle of Buckeye Vodka.

We’re family owned and independently operated, proudly made in Dayton with corn from Ohio farmers, distilled 10 times and charcoal filtered for the clean, smooth finish we’ve spent 15 years perfecting.

From tailgates and football Saturdays to your neighborhood bar and the bottle you keep at home, we’re proud to be an Ohio vodka made for the people who call this state home.

If you haven’t tried Buckeye yet, consider this your sign.

Whatever vodka you’re drinking now, give Buckeye a pour - we think you’ll be surprised by just how good homegrown can taste.

Win or lose, there’s always something worth raising a glass to.

Last night was a heartbreaker, but Buckeye pride runs a whole lot deeper than the final score.

We’re still proud to be from Ohio, proud to support Ohio State Athletics, and proud to raise a glass with Buckeye Nation through every win, every loss, and everything in between.

So maybe today it’s less “celebration cocktail” and more “we’ll get ’em next time.” Either way, make it Buckeye Vodka.

Still proud. Still Buckeyes. Still pouring Ohio’s #1 vodka.
