Moxie
Regional soft drink
Moxie is courage, nerve, or aggressive energy—the boldness to take on difficult challenges: She had the moxie to start her own business at nineteen.
The word suggests scrappy determination rather than mere bravery.
Originally a trademark for a bitter soft drink, moxie came to mean the spirit or guts someone shows under pressure.
