Arizona Energy Shots: A.M. Awake Fast Shot: Citrus Green Tea

Product Type: Functional: Energy Shot; Container: 2 oz shot
BevNET Review: The “A.M. Awake” variety of AriZona’s Fast Shot is a tea and juice based (13 percent juice) energy shot that’s uses a proprietary formulation (with no added caffeine) that’s designed to help get you going in the morning hours. There’s a cocktail of ingredients, which were “scientifically blended formula by nutritionist Oz Garcia”, including B vitamins, glutamine, wild green oat extract, rhodiola rosea, ginseng, taurine, L-theanine, L-tyrosine, guarana, and more. It’s sweetened with sugar, sucralose, and ace-k, which results in a mixture that’s pretty sweet, but low in calories. There’s a decent note of fruit flavor to the mix, which tastes like apple, pear, and citrus, while the added tea and functional ingredients give the product a mild note of green tea and a somewhat bitter finish. Aside from the finish and the aftertaste, this product is definitely an enjoyable entry. On the outside, they’ve made great use of the AriZona branding, with a vertical logo and familiar color scheme that is easy to spot from a distance. The “AM Awake” name is also quite intuitive, with a specific benefit that we think is a pretty marketable one. On the other hand, the plug for nutritionist Oz Garcia seems a bit lost in the shuffle – and we’re not sure that it really belongs on the front panel. Overall, we like what they’ve done with this product.
