The Buckeye Martini follows the classic Dry Martini formula — gin and dry vermouth, stirred with ice — but swaps the traditional olive or lemon twist for a black olive garnish. Named after the Ohio Buckeye, the black olive gives the drink a slightly more earthy, briny character than the usual green olive. It’s a subtle but meaningful variation for Martini purists who want a different garnish note without changing the liquid itself.
