Kurzer Explanation: Hi, It depends a bit on your context. If you want to use shot alone without specifiying the actual drink, i.e. in order to express that it is about a small strong alcoholic drink, you can also say "Kurzer", e.g. after dinner, "Wer hätte gerne einen Kurzen?"

Schuss is fine or Kürze Explanation: The German word is used just like the English. Mostly served in little glasses holding two cl. How much is that, about two-thirds of an ounce? Is the other name "Kurzer" or "der Kürze". I will never understand this language. |

Schnapsglas Explanation: The other suggestions are all good. However, I saw your comment: "Stamperl" and the term for 'shot glas' would be "Schnapsglas". The term "Schuss" describes more the process of adding a small amount of alcohol to a long drink (like: orange juice with a shot of vodka), whereas a shotglas full of vodka would be: ein Schnapsglas voll Vodka. The term "ein Kurzer" is also kind of slang, just not for Bavaria. Good luck. iris |
