whiskey shot

Quick bar pour

A whiskey shot is a small serving of whiskey meant to be drunk in one swallow, typically about 1.5 ounces.

The term refers both to the drink itself and the small glass it's served in: We ordered a round of whiskey shots.

Taking shots is associated with drinking quickly to get drunk rather than savoring the liquor.
