What is a jigger?

Professional Bar Jiggers high quality double sided Fifth & Vermouth Canada USA

A jigger is a very common bar tool that allows you to measure your cocktail ingredients accurately, smoothly and efficiently. A huge advantage to a jigger vs using a traditional shot glass when preparing your cocktails is that it has measurements on the side of the cup. This allows you to measure multiple different capacities. Typically, the volume ranges measurements from 0.5 oz – 2.5 oz. Most common capacities are 2 oz.
