I was quite surprised to find this product, as small energy shot drinks seemed to be phased out of Australia many years ago. There used to be little Red Bull, Monster, V, etc, a decade or more ago, but I really don’t see or notice them anymore. I assume they were taken off the market for health reasons.

So to see this at 24 24-hour bottle shop at 1 am was a surprise. It reminds me of 24-hour energy drinks from the USA, and interestingly, ZAP Power Shots are made in the US, yet owned by an Australian company.

According to their website, ZAP Power Shot is an Australian-made 60 mL energy shot tailored to busy, health-conscious consumers, think late-night study sessions, tough workdays, or pre-workout boosts. It’s marketed as delivering fast, sustained energy without added sugar or fat, making it low-calorie and low-carb.

Key Ingredients & Benefits of ZAP Power Shot

B‑vitamins & amino acids: for energy metabolism and focus

No added sugar: makes it cleaner and avoids sugar crashes

99% fat-free, low-calorie, low-carb: ideal for those watching macros

It’s too soon to tell how strong the energy kick is, but I like that it has no sugar. The taste is also very, very good.
