BuzzBallz

BuzzBallz are individually portioned ready-to-drink cocktails made with real distilled spirits — vodka, rum, tequila, or whiskey — produced at Southern Champion distillery in Carrollton, Texas, founded by Merrilee Kick in 2009, bottled at 15% ABV in the brand's signature resealable spherical containers and available in over 20 flavors across the standard 187ml sphere, the 1.75L Biggies large format, and the lighter 5% ABV Chillerz slim can line.

The real spirit base is what separates BuzzBallz from the majority of the RTD category. Most canned cocktails at this price point use fermented malt or wine as the alcohol base — BuzzBallz uses actual distilled vodka, rum, tequila, and whiskey from their own Texas distillery. At 15% ABV in a 187ml sphere, each standard BuzzBall contains roughly the equivalent of 1.5 to 2 standard drinks — significantly stronger than the 5–7% ABV of most canned cocktail competitors. The resealable sphere design allows partial consumption and resealing, unlike standard cans.
