Production & Heritage

BuzzBallz/Southern Champion, LLC is a woman-owned, family-operated distillery and winery founded in 2009 in Carrollton, Texas. Chocolate Tease starts with a premium vodka base, which is blended with real dairy cream and natural chocolate flavors to produce a dessert-style cocktail bottled at 15% ABV. The liquid is packaged in the brand's signature 200ml spherical container — an unbreakable, floatable design that has become instantly recognizable in the RTD space and sets BuzzBallz apart from conventional canned or bottled competitors.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Rich cocoa leads the nose, followed by sweet dairy cream and a subtle hint of vanilla. A faint alcoholic warmth sits behind the chocolate without overpowering the dessert-forward profile.

Taste: The entry is smooth and creamy, with milk chocolate dominating the front palate. Mid-palate brings a deeper cocoa intensity balanced by the sweetness of real cream, while the vodka base provides just enough structure to remind you this is a cocktail and not a milkshake. The overall impression is reminiscent of a well-made chocolate martini.

Finish: Medium in length with a velvety, coating texture that lingers on the palate. Residual cocoa and a light boozy warmth trail off cleanly without excessive sweetness.

How to Drink Chocolate Tease

Chocolate Tease drinks best chilled straight from the sphere — shake it, twist the cap, and sip. For those who want to use it as a cocktail ingredient, it works well in several applications. A Chocolate Espresso Martini benefits from swapping in Chocolate Tease for the cream liqueur component, adding cocoa depth alongside fresh espresso. A Mudslide gains an extra layer of chocolate richness when Chocolate Tease is combined with coffee liqueur and Irish cream over ice. A Frozen Chocolate Alexander blends Chocolate Tease with ice and a splash of crème de cacao for a decadent frozen dessert drink.

Best For

• Poolside or beach drinking where glass containers are prohibited
• Stocking a dessert cocktail station at house parties
• Adding a fun, portable treat to picnic baskets or tailgates
• Satisfying a chocolate craving with a convenient single-serve format

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Chocolate Tease taste like? Chocolate Tease delivers a rich, creamy milk chocolate flavor with subtle cocoa depth and a smooth vodka backbone, drinking much like a portable chocolate martini.

How does Chocolate Tease compare to Kahlúa Ready-to-Drink Mudslide? Kahlúa's RTD Mudslide leans on coffee and caramel flavors alongside its chocolate notes, while Chocolate Tease commits fully to a straightforward cream-and-cocoa profile. Chocolate Tease also comes in a smaller 200ml single-serve sphere at 15% ABV, making it more portable and slightly higher in alcohol than many RTD Mudslide formats.

Is Chocolate Tease good for beginners? Yes — the sweet, dessert-forward flavor profile makes it approachable for those who do not typically enjoy the taste of alcohol, while still delivering a noticeable 15% ABV.

Where is Chocolate Tease made? Chocolate Tease is produced by BuzzBallz/Southern Champion, LLC in Carrollton, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. The company operates as both a licensed distillery and winery from its Texas facility.

What foods pair well with Chocolate Tease? Strawberries and whipped cream complement the cocoa sweetness naturally. Salted pretzels create a satisfying sweet-salty contrast. Cheesecake — especially New York style — mirrors the rich, creamy texture. Graham crackers and marshmallows lean into a s'mores-inspired pairing. Brie or mascarpone cheese echoes the dairy creaminess while adding savory balance.

What sizes does Chocolate Tease come in? The standard format is the signature 200ml sphere, which is the primary size available for the spirits-based BuzzBallz Cocktails line.

Is Chocolate Tease worth the price? Chocolate Tease positions as a value-friendly, single-serve ready-to-drink cocktail that delivers a convincingly rich dessert experience at an accessible price point, making it a strong option within the RTD cream cocktail tier.

Why Chocolate Tease?

Chocolate Tease earned Double Gold and Best in Show at the 2016 WSWA Convention and Gold at the 2016 Seattle International Spirits Awards — credentials that separate it from the crowded RTD field. The use of real cream and natural chocolate flavors rather than purely artificial flavorings gives it a texture and taste that punch above what most 200ml single-serve cocktails deliver. BuzzBallz's unbreakable, floatable spherical design solves a genuine problem for outdoor drinking occasions where glass is impractical or banned. For a portable chocolate cocktail that actually tastes like it was mixed intentionally rather than mass-produced as an afterthought, Chocolate Tease remains one of the most credible options in its category.
