BuzzBallz – Ready-to-Drink Cocktails in Resealable Spheres

BuzzBallz are one of the most recognizable ready-to-drink cocktail brands in the country — individually portioned, shelf-stable cocktails sold in distinctive round plastic containers that have become a fixture at liquor stores, sporting events, concerts, and anywhere convenience and fun intersect. Founded in 2009 by Merrilee Kick in Texas, BuzzBallz are produced at her family-owned Southern Champion distillery — one of the largest single-site distilleries in the United States. Unlike most canned cocktails that use malt or wine bases, BuzzBallz are made with real spirits: vodka, rum, tequila, or whiskey. Wooden Cork ships the full BuzzBallz lineup nationwide.

BuzzBallz ABV – How Much Alcohol

Standard BuzzBallz (187ml / 6.3 oz spheres) contain 15% ABV — roughly equivalent to 1.5–2 standard drinks per container. This is significantly stronger than most canned cocktails (which run 5–7% ABV) and even stronger than most wines (12–14% ABV). The higher ABV is intentional — BuzzBallz are designed to be a self-contained cocktail experience, not a session drink.

BuzzBallz Biggies contain the same 15% ABV in a larger 1.75L format — essentially a full party-size version of the standard sphere. At that volume, a single Biggie contains roughly 20 standard drinks and is designed for group settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
