well shot

A shot of the cheap version of liquor, the "house" liquor. Given when a patron asks just for a shot of tequila/vodka/rum/etc without expecting a certain label. When a certain label name is requested, it is referred to as a call shot.
Same applies to drinks. "Rum and coke" vs. "Bacardi and coke."

Just get a well shot. It's cheaper than the name brand stuff.
