Jiggers
Jiggers are measuring utensils used for mixing drinks. They are typically shaped like an hourglass and made of stainless steel. A jigger includes two cups of different sizes, allowing you to measure out a precise amount of liquid before mixing it into a drink.
You can find jiggers with 1 oz. and 2 oz. cups, ½ oz. and ¾ oz. cups, and other combinations. We carry a variety of high-quality options from Cocktail Kingdom. We also have standard measuring cups to mix drinks or use around the kitchen. These are made from silicone, acrylic, or plastic; from brands like ISI, Oxo, and EZ Step.

What is a jigger, and why do I need one?
A jigger is an essential bar tool designed for accurately measuring liquor. Using a jigger ensures consistent cocktail recipes and helps prevent over-pouring. Whether you're a professional bartender or a home enthusiast, a jigger is key to crafting perfectly balanced drinks.
How do I use a jigger for measuring drinks?
A jigger is a small measuring tool used to accurately pour liquor for cocktails. To use it, fill the jigger to the desired measurement line, usually 1 ounce (30 ml) on one side and 1.5 ounces (45 ml) on the other. Pour the liquor into your glass or shaker from the jigger to ensure precise and consistent drink proportions every time.
How many shots are in a jigger?
A standard jigger typically holds 1.5 ounces (44 ml), which is equivalent to one standard shot in the United States. Some jiggers are double-sided, with one side measuring 1 ounce (30 ml) and the other 1.5 ounces, so it can measure either one or one and a half shots depending on the side used.
What is a standard size jigger?
A standard size jigger often measures 1.5 ounces on one side and 1 ounce on the other. However, other sizes are available, including the popular Texas jigger and the classic clam jigger. We offer a variety of jigger sizes to accommodate different cocktail recipes.
What are the different types of jiggers available?
We offer various jigger styles, including the classic clam jigger, the versatile Texas jigger, and the traditional barboy jigger. Explore our selection to find the design and functionality that best suits your bartending style.
What is a clam jigger?
A clam jigger is a classic jigger style featuring two cone-shaped cups joined at their bases, resembling a clam shell. This design allows for easy measuring of different liquor volumes.
What is a Texas jigger?
A Texas jigger, also known as a T-Jigger, typically has a 1.5-ounce side and a 1-ounce side, but with a wider, shallower bowl than a standard jigger. This shape makes it easier to pour and less prone to spills. It's a popular choice among professional bartenders.
