Shot
A shot is a small serving of an alcoholic beverage. Most shots are between 1 and 3 fluid ounces (30 and 90 ml).
The term "shot" has been used to refer to a small drink since the late 1800s. The first known use of the term "shot" in reference to an alcoholic drink was in a 1885 issue of The New York Times.
In the early 1900s, a shot of whiskey was commonly referred to as a "jigger." The term "shot" became more popular in the 1920s, during the Prohibition era in the United States.
