Here are 10 of the best cocktail jiggers that will have you pouring your cocktails with style!
Mar 31, 2020
Have you ever thought about how making cocktails is similar to baking? The success of the end result depends not only on the quality of the ingredients, but also on the careful measurements of each element to ensure the perfect balance of flavours!
Which is why the cocktail jigger (or measure) is such an important piece of kit to add to your home bar if you’re looking to improve your mixology skills!
So, for the uninitiated, a jigger is an hourglass-shaped measuring device, usually made of metal; typically, one side has a ‘cup’ containing 1.5oz (roughly 45ml) and the other side has a smaller cup that can hold half that amount.
In all honesty, the jigger was designed for bartenders, so they could mix drinks as speedily and accurately as possible - not something most of us home-based cocktail enthusiasts need to worry about, but hey, anything that makes us feel just a little bit more like Tom Cruise in Cocktail can’t be a bad thing, right?!
Here are 10 of our top picks for some of the best cocktail jiggers and measures out there - with these beautiful jiggers you’ll soon be pouring your cocktails with style and ease!
