yeah, 1-1 1/2 oz. of liquor neat does look pathetic.

as for chilling vodka or any other spirit and serving 'neat/up', i keep my 
selected liquour bottles in the fridge or on ice.  i also keep the same 
selected liquor bottles room temp.

for instance, the basic liquor i keep refridgerated is Patron silver, Grey 
Goose, Jager, and Goldshlager.  everyone is different.

some customers want the liquor straight from the chilled bottle, and some 
customers want me to chill the liquor in a shaker tin.  which ever they call 
for is the way i do it.

you probably have figured out when the liquor is chilled with ice in a ahaker 
tin, the shot will be much more than not chilling with ice in a shaker tin.  
it just so happens i will chill the liquor in a shaker tin whenever a early 
twentysomething kid orders shots.  they seem to be oblivious that the shots 
are watered down from the ice.  and i am just about positive what i described 
is bartending 101 for the old ones on here.
