double shot

Two measures poured

A double shot is two measures of espresso in a single serving, the standard base for most coffee drinks: I'll have a latte with a double shot.

The term extends to two measures of any spirit: a double shot of whiskey.

In photography and film, a double shot frames two subjects together in the same take.
