I had to look up the term, a shot in the dark, although I am an espresso lover (the coffee kind) I have never heard this name for a “doppio espresso”.
A Shot in the Dark is a nice little drink. It's your normal brewed coffee (hopefully made with premium, fresh roasted, fresh ground beans) with a double espresso shot added for good measure. It's pretty straightforward, but not many people know about this wonder booster. It is also known as a Depth Charge...

By ordering Two shots... (“I'd like two shots in the dark”) you should not receive four shots of espresso in a single cup because a SITD contains two shots. A double shot in the dark is the equivalent of four servings of espresso in a single cup. When you ask your local barista for two double espressos, you should be served two cups of double espresso, not a cup that has four espresso servings. Ordering two double shots in the dark shouldn't be any different. In other words, the expression for four shots of espresso in a single cup would be a double shot in the dark
- A shot in the dark (one cup)
- Two shots in the dark (two cups)
- A double shot in the dark (four servings of espresso in one cup)
- Two double shots in the dark (two cups of the above)
Solution 3:
To be completely clear, refer to "2 orders of 'shot in the dark'"
