In my experience, a shot glass holds between 30 and 45 ml.

According to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_glass
in the USA a single shot is 1.5 ounces, and a one-ounce glass is
called a "pony shot".  If this is the case, then a "double shot"
would indeed be a revi'is.  But I don't recall ever seeing such a
glass, and if I did I don't think I'd call it a "kelishek" or
"shnaps glezel".
