Across the United States, alcohol consumption is plummeting at historic rates—with young adults and women leading the steep decline away from drinking. Yet while traditional beer, wine, and liquor brands struggle to stay relevant, an unusual 15% ABV cocktail packaged inside a bright plastic sphere has exploded into a $569 million powerhouse. Created in 2009 by high school teacher Merrilee Kick as an MBA master's thesis inspired by a poolside Swedish candle, BuzzBallz outsmarted state liquor laws, cracked gas station shelves, and landed a massive buyout from spirits giant Sazerac. Here is the investigative breakdown of how a teacher's bizarre cocktail ball conquered America's biggest drinking slump.
