double-shot

Twice the caffeine

Double-shot describes an espresso drink made with two shots instead of one, producing a stronger, more concentrated coffee: I need a double-shot latte this morning.

The term extends to anything with twice the usual amount of a key ingredient: double-shot energy drink.

In photography, double-shot can mean two exposures on the same frame.
