Modelled on a classic Italian Spritz, and destined to be enjoyed at Apertivo hour, ZOOZ is a premium energy drink available in 200ml glass bottles. ZOOZ is the first cocktail brand launched by Personal Trainer and Former Professional Athlete Daniel Soos. Soos had spent many years creating his own functional blends and smoothies and has witnessed the booming mushroom trend first hand on the gym floor with his client base - the popularity of Lion's Mane and Cordyceps in particular. ZOOZ is a result of wanting to present these ingredients in a delicious, aperitif-style liquid for those wanting to continue on their wellness journey as well as enjoy nights out with friends with delicious products.
Zooz is crafted with health-boosting ingredients, is 100% vegan, non-alcoholic, has no artificial ingredients, sugar or gluten and there is no plastic packaging.
ZOOZ's ingredients have all been carefully selected to boost what Daniel calls the 'three pillars of energy': cognitive, physical and mental.
- Lion's Mane is said to increase cognitive enhancement and is has been used for a sustained energy boost
- Cordyceps and Ginseng have been used boost physical energy
- A B Vitamin Blend (B3, B6, B7, B12) to help the body use the energy-yielding nutrients
The flavour of ZOOZ is dominated by citrus, coming through with bitter orange peel and lemon, with yuzu to balance. A deep orange hue, and a rich, viscous mouthfeel, creates a well-rounded drinking experience and not what is expected from traditional energy drink. The suggested serve is chilled over ice, with an orange peel garnish.
Founder Daniel Soos says,
“Many years on the gym floor and speaking to my clients made me realise that there was a gap in the market for a delicious alcohol alternative that offered consumers real health-boosting benefits, alongside great flavour, without compromising on the ritual of a great cocktail experience. Lots of my contacts in the gym were praising their experiences with mushroom powders and the impact that they had on their cognitive ability and their ability to sustain energy.
If someone is health conscious it doesn't mean they should have to miss out on a delicious drink in the evening. As wellness is becoming an ever-increasing trend within the drinks world, I wanted to create something that catered for everyone, without compromising on cocktail culture. We look forward to speaking to premium bars and restaurants this summer and introducing them to our Good Energy.”
The ZOOZ team has started outreach to some of London's top bars and restaurants and have a 'Good Energy' campaign set to run over social over the summer as well a designated PR outreach to increase consumer awareness. Commercial Operations are headed up by Drinks Industry Professional Herchelle Perez Terrado.
