About this deal
Whether you’re a home bartender or professional mixologist, this jigger is a worthy addition to your barware collection. The use of starches, especially potato, gives the finished crust a less greasy, and pleasing white color. But for milder tasting ingredients such as lemon juice or simple syrup, it's not going to make a huge difference. Jiggers are handy tools for the home bartender, and the Cocktail Kingdom Leopold Jigger wins for best overall thanks to its clean design and availability in multiple finishes.
Ask any bartender, and they’ll tell you that when it comes to making cocktails professionally, consistency is key across the board. A 1-ounce/2-ounce jigger is the go-to for many bartenders, so we’d recommend opting for the 30-milliliter/60-milliliter size. So, if you’re not sure how much alcohol is in a particular shot, you’ll need to ask the bartender or check the bottle.One side of the jigger measures a single shot (25 ml), while the other does doubles (50 ml), making it quick and easy to pour the perfect drink every time. As a beginner, it's a really good idea to use measurements so you don't overpower a drink or change the taste palate of it.
This jigger helpfully features exterior measurement markers with corresponding lines on the inside walls, so you’ll always have a handle on even the smallest pours.

Conversely, if you use the mixed drink side to measure a shot, you’ll end up with not enough liquor.The stainless steel is classic, but if you opt for another finish, such as the copper-plated option, just know it's not dishwasher safe. This is served in a cocktail glass, so it doesn't make sense to start with two and a half 1 1/2-ounce jiggers (or 3 3/4 ounces) of bourbon. Now that we’re getting into measurement lines, you need to dust off your high school chemistry knowledge.
