Description
A jigger is a measuring tool used in the preparation of cocktails and other mixed drinks. It is typically a two-sided metal or glass vessel with two different-sized cups or cones attached at their bases. Each side of the jigger represents a specific measurement, commonly one ounce (30 mL) and a smaller measurement like half an ounce (15 mL) or three-quarters of an ounce (22 mL). The jigger allows bartenders and mixologists to accurately measure and pour precise amounts of liquid ingredients into cocktails, ensuring consistent flavor profiles and balanced proportions. By using a jigger, bartenders can maintain consistency in drink recipes and control the strength and flavor balance of the final beverage. It is an essential tool for achieving accuracy and precision in cocktail-making.
