Buzz Ball drinks: what BuzzBallz are and where to ask

"Buzz ball" almost always means BuzzBallz, the ready-to-drink cocktails sold in small round containers. If you are hunting for a particular flavor around Westford, CBC Liquors on Littleton Rd is the place to ask, by phone or in person, before you make the trip.

What is a Buzz Ball?

BuzzBallz are pre-mixed cocktails sold in small, ball-shaped containers, usually around 200 ml each. The drink is already made: a spirit base blended with juice, cream or flavoring. You open it and pour it over ice, or drink it chilled.

The flavors imitate classic cocktails and dessert drinks, such as margarita-style, chocolate martini-style and fruity rum or vodka blends. The flavor list changes over time, and some are seasonal or limited, which is why people go looking for a specific one.

They belong to the ready-to-drink family, the same shelf logic as canned cocktails and hard seltzers: no bottles, no shaker, no measuring.

Does CBC Liquors carry BuzzBallz?

We have a dedicated page for this, BuzzBallz in Westford, and the plain answer for a specific flavor is to ask us.

Call the shop or stop in at 142 Littleton Rd, Westford. Tell us the flavor name, or describe it if you only remember the color of the ball. We can look at what is here.

If the flavor you want is not in, ask whether it can be looked into for you. Special requests are part of how we work, and our kegs and special order page shows how requests come in.

How do you hunt down a hard-to-find flavor?

Start with the exact name on the container. BuzzBallz flavor names are similar enough that a close guess can send you to the wrong one, so a photo from a friend's party or an old order helps.

Next, check the alcohol content on the label. It varies between flavors, and two that look alike on the shelf can differ. If you are buying for a gathering, read each one rather than assuming they match.

Then ask the shop before driving anywhere. A short call saves time, and we can tell you what is in the store now. Our hours are Monday to Thursday 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, Friday and Saturday 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and Sunday 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM.

What should you know before you drink one?

A small container does not mean a weak drink. Because the drink is sweet and cold, it can taste lighter than it is, so check the percentage on the label and treat each one as a real cocktail.

They are for adults 21 and over, and you should never drive after drinking. Pace yourself, have water and food alongside, and plan your ride home before the party starts.

Keep them cold. Creamy and chocolate-style flavors in particular are better well chilled, and a shake before opening is common practice for drinks like these.

What if we do not have the flavor you want?

There are close alternatives in the same category. Browse the ready-to-drink section for other pre-mixed cocktails, and the seltzers section for lighter, less sweet options.

If what you like about a Buzz Ball is the cocktail flavor, you can build something similar. A margarita-style drink starts with tequila and a mixer from our mixers shelf. A fruity vodka drink is easy with Tito's Vodka and juice. For something sweeter and rum-based, Captain Morgan Spiced Rum over ice with a splash of cola is a simple start.

For a fruit-forward shot or mixed drink, 99 Watermelons Schnapps is another bottle we carry.

Can you get them by pickup or delivery?

CBC Liquors offers pickup, delivery and shipping besides walking in. Once we have confirmed a flavor is in, you can ask about setting it aside for pickup. Pickup hours match store hours.

Delivery runs Monday to Thursday 10:00 AM to 8:30 PM, Friday and Saturday 10:00 AM to 9:30 PM, and Sunday 10:00 AM to 7:30 PM. Our delivery areas page lists the towns we cover, including Chelmsford, Acton, Littleton, Lowell and Billerica.

Delivery is for adults, and someone 21 or older has to be there to receive the order.
