energy shots

Tiny alertness drinks

Energy shots are small, concentrated beverages—typically two to three ounces—designed to deliver a quick boost of alertness through caffeine and other stimulants.

Unlike full-sized energy drinks, they're meant to be consumed in one or two swallows: I downed an energy shot before the meeting.

Common brands include 5-hour Energy.

The compact format trades taste for convenience and portability.
