The Buckeye Bourbon Blitz
The Buckeye Bourbon Blitz
Mekka Don ’02 makes a cocktail that captures the energy of The Game.

During rivalry week, we’re only making drinks that come out scarlet — so the Buckeye Bourbon Blitz is just right! Bourbon, sweet vermouth and Campari (the key to the beautiful scarlet color we love) come together perfectly to make a Buckeye-fied version of a classic cocktail, the boulevardier.
Alumnus Mekka Don ’02 is a former Ohio State football player. Currently, Mekka Don is an entrepreneur, lawyer, actor and rap artist who recently released a song titled “Still Dope” and created our favorite game day pump up anthem “Juice” — check them out on Spotify to make the perfect soundtrack for your watch party!
