nitros
Creamy beer pours
Nitros is the plural of nitro, referring to multiple instances of things boosted by nitrous oxide or characterized by explosive power.
In gaming and racing contexts, nitros are speed boosts: I saved my nitros for the final lap.
The term appears in car culture for vehicles equipped with nitrous oxide systems, and in coffee shops for nitrogen-infused cold brews.
