BuzzBallz is marking Valentine’s Day with both a new flavor launch and a headline-grabbing auction. The brand’s newest release, Pink Lemonsqueezy, is a pink lemonade–inspired ready-to-drink cocktail bottled at 15% ABV and rolling out nationwide at retail and online.

Alongside the launch, BuzzBallz is auctioning off a one-of-a-kind engagement ring featuring a 9-carat lab-grown pink diamond set in a custom, bedazzled mini BuzzBallz mold modeled after the Pink Lemonsqueezy container. Valued at $35,000, the ring is being auctioned on eBay, with proceeds benefiting a heart-related charitable cause. As of publishing, bidding has reached $8,300. Click here to check out the bidding.

While the ring is a novelty item designed to generate attention, Pink Lemonsqueezy itself is widely available and offers a playful, citrus-forward option for Valentine’s or Galentine’s celebrations.

Released in January, Cutwater’s Chocolate Espresso Martini expands the brand’s canned martini lineup, building on the success of its original Espresso Martini. The ready-to-drink cocktail is made with Cutwater vodka, coffee cream liqueur and chocolate flavoring.

Each 12-ounce can contains 13% ABV, along with 540 calories, 38 grams of carbohydrates, 32 grams of sugar, 14 grams of fat and 3 grams of protein.

Cutwater recommends serving it straight from the can, chilled with a chocolate rim or shaken over ice. Suggested pairings include chocolate desserts like tiramisu, creamy confections such as sea-salt caramel, or savory options like aged cheeses, toasted nuts or prosciutto with crackers. It’s available nationwide as a limited-time release in four-packs.

These bourbon-infused truffles pair rich dark chocolate ganache with John J. Bowman Virginia Straight Bourbon Whiskey from A. Smith Bowman Distillery. Each truffle is hand-rolled and coated in aromatic Valrhona cocoa, which adds a bittersweet outer layer that pairs wonderfully with the decadent, creamy ganache within. The bourbon influence is subtle rather than spirit-forward — perfect for pairing with a great whiskey, Bowman or otherwise.

The Whistler P.X. I Love You Single Malt Irish Whiskey ($49.99)

P.X. I Love You is a single malt Irish whiskey from The Whistler, a brand under Boann Distillery, a family-owned producer in County Meath that has been distilling since 2019. The name alone makes it a perfect Valentine’s Day gift, but the flavor profile helps.

This whiskey is aged for four years in ex-bourbon barrels before spending an additional year finishing in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. It’s bottled at 92 proof and carries a suggested retail price of $49.99 for a 750-milliliter bottle.

Nose: Tart and fruit-forward, with prunes, raisins and orange pith layered over leather, coffee grounds and dark chocolate–covered macadamia nuts.
Taste: Moderate viscosity. Honey and maple syrup meet pear, raspberry and rose petals, followed by walnuts, chestnuts, cinnamon and graham cracker.
Finish: White pepper and cinnamon lead, fading into chestnut, caramel and sassafras.
Overall: A well-balanced, highly sippable sweet whiskey. The honeyed distillate integrates smoothly with the nutty, dried-fruit character from the PX finish. While it occasionally edges toward cloying, darker and spicier notes help keep it in check.

Elijah Craig’s Char No. 3 Cologne extends the bourbon brand beyond the bottle and into fragrance. Inspired by the Level 3 char used on oak barrels for aging Elijah Craig Bourbon, the scent is designed to reflect barrel-aging cues rather than mimic the smell of whiskey itself.

According to the brand, the fragrance opens with juniper berry, lavandin and orange blossom before shifting into warmer notes of nutmeg, oak barrel, birch wood, vanilla and cocoa. The cologne was developed by global fragrance house Symrise, with development and manufacturing handled by Crafting Beauty, following a study of charred oak staves used in bourbon production.

Char No. 3 is positioned as a unisex fragrance and will continue to be sold in limited quantities for $49.99. It’s also slated to be available at the Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience in Bardstown, Kentucky, while supplies last.
