Carrollton-based BuzzBallz is looking for someone “with the ballz” to propose this Valentine’s Day—and is giving them the chance to bid on a $35,000, 9-carat pink diamond ring to help seal the deal.
The Sazerac-owned maker of ready-to-drink cocktail balls has set a gobsmacking, lab-grown pink diamond inside a custom, bedazzled “mini BuzzBallz mold” modeled after the brand’s Pink Lemonsqueezy container. The company’s newest flavor, the pink lemonade-inspired cocktail features a hint of sweet citrus.
Something else that’s sweet? This innovative marketing stunt. Heck, the ring even comes with its own pull-tab.

“Every main squeeze deserves the best and at BuzzBallz, ‘the best’ means going bigger and brighter than anyone asked for,” said BuzzBallz VP Jess Scheerhorn.
“We couldn’t resist giving Pink Lemonsqueezy a launch that lives up to BuzzBallz’ over-the-top vibe, from the ring’s pink hue and iconic round shape to an unforgettable moment only a true BuzzBallz power couple could pull off,” she added in a statement.

The ring will be listed on eBay starting Feb. 3 at 9 a.m. CST, with bids beginning at just $2.14. The auction’s slated to close on Feb. 10 at 9 a.m. CST. BuzzBallz says the ring and matching ring box will ship by Feb. 13, 2026, with proceeds benefiting “a heart-related charitable cause.”
Founded by a former Plano high school teacher
BuzzBallz was founded in 2009 by Merrilee Kick, a former high school teacher in Plano, as part of her master’s degree thesis project. The company was acquired by Louisville, Kentucky-based Sazerac, one of the world’s largest spirits companies, in 2024—with Kick remaining as the company’s CEO.
