energy shot

Tiny alertness boost

An energy shot is a small, concentrated beverage—typically two to three ounces—containing caffeine and other stimulants designed to boost alertness quickly.

Unlike full-sized energy drinks, shots are meant to be consumed in one or two swallows: I grabbed an energy shot before my night shift.

The compact size makes them portable but also easier to overconsume.
