Bonsoir,
je traduis des recettes de cocktails et le mot "shot" me pose problème :
Bloody Mary. The tomato gives it a taste that lies somewhere between savoury and spicy and a shot of lemon adds a fresh fruity depth.
Ingredients: 2 cl lemon juice
4 cl vodka
1 pinch of pepper and salt
2–6 dashes Tabasco
5–9 dashes Worcestershire sauce
Avez-vous des idées ?
Merci

dose
Since here it is literally one 2 cl measure, I think one would be quite justified in using 'dose': une dose de jus de citron + 2 doses de vodka

Thanks, Vaddy! It actually says "a shot of...", so "une dose de..." seems to me in order.

: ça fait quand même un peu médical... non? / If you say so. Indeed, we call it "une mesure".

No, over here in France at least, we certainly talk about a 'dose' for a 'measure' of alcohol (which = a shot); cf. a 'doseur'

: Rasade = liquide qui remplit un verre à boire jusqu'au bord: une rasade de rhum. (Lexis) Donc, un peu trop pour 2 cl... / Justement!

"Rasade" a un peu perdu son sens originel, et d'ailleurs, on dit souvent "une bonne rasade".
Dans une recette, les mots comme "shot", "dash", etc., donnent une idée des proportions et, sans eux, les recettes perdent beaucoup de leur poésie !

Discussion
'shot' here in EN means 'a noticeable quantity' — and do note that 'a shot' is also a measure, albeit usually used informally; one might well say here that the 'shot' is 2 cl, and that the vodak is therefore a 'double'
je comprends ce que vous dites mais l'expression, consacrée, est en dehors de l'énumération des ingrédients. Je la pense valable ici.
