It's pretty strong, so you'll want to nurse that cup all afternoon.
This was my wife’s problem when we were in Europe. She prefers the americano style where it’s a mug’s worth of coffee, instead of espresso. So whenever we got coffee, I diluted the espresso with some water for her.
But why would you buy an espresso in the first place? Sure it depends on the country but in most places you can get a proper coffee with no need to dilute it with cold water.

Continental Europe
Not here, You get whole 100ml (maybe more not sure) mug, full mug of a black Turkish coffee (it is strong and bitter)
Europe is not uniform in this, as per usual. This is what you'll get in southern Europe. In central Europe, you'll get a really big one though.
Perhaps use SI units instead of "small, medium, large"
as much as I love SI units, coffee sizes for decent cafes are already pretty standard across the globe:
4oz (shots) 6oz (small) 8oz (regular) 12oz (large) 16oz (iced, etc)

A cortado is 4 OUNCES. I even made it American.
Is this the “Pocket Rocket” I keep hearing about? Small but packing more caffeine than all the uppers combined?
“lmao”, as they say
in Japan they always make sure you know what you’re getting into when you order an espresso: “the cup is really small, is that ok??”
I had the same experience with ordering vegetarian in eastern Europe. They asked me in 3 different restaurants "This has no meat, is that okay??" With a realy concerned look.
Reminds me of that “this is a small in ” meme
