Canada - July 15, 2022 /Fifth & Vermouth/

Fifth & Vermouth wants to ensure that everyone understands their barware terminology when looking to add to either their bar collection or providing a barware gift to a loved one. In our next few blogs, we will be talking about the different types of barware and some common uses and benefits of each bar tool so that you can feel confident (whether you’re a first-time user or a long-time enthusiast) about how to utilize our products.

What is a Jigger?

Today, we are going to talk about Jiggers. A Jigger is a very common bar tool that is used to measure the ingredients of a cocktail. Different jiggers have different capacities of measurement typically ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 ounces. A huge advantage of a jigger vs. a traditional shot glass to measure is that jiggers usually have two sides. This allows bartenders to mix drinks quicker because they can use both sides of the jigger. Most jiggers look like small hourglasses and the middle is where the two cups meet. 

What kind of Jiggers are out there? 

There are a few types of Jiggers to be aware of. Depending on the use of the jigger will determine the type of jigger that we would recommend that you use. For most bartenders, a jigger that is wide, easy to pour into, and is durable will be the best for their efficiency. For collectors at home, a more relaxed jigger or handled style could be a preference. A few different types of jiggers that Fifth & Vermouth offers are below.

Bell Jigger

The Bell Jigger 

Our bell jigger comes in stainless steel, gold, gunmetal black, and copper plating. This jigger has excellent weight and the wide mouth allows for easier pours into the jigger for measuring to mitigate spillage. The bell Jigger’s weight is a bit heavier than most jiggers, and the unique design makes it a great jigger for at-home bars. The top side measures 1 oz. while the bottom side measures 2 oz.

This jigger is made well and will last a lifetime. Exceptional customer service and fast shipping.


Japanese Kamakura Jigger

The Kamakura Japanese Jigger

If efficiency is your desire, the Kamakura Japanese Jigger demonstrates that perfectly. The skinnier design allows you to use the jigger with a mere two fingers! This style of jigger is widely used around the world due to its very simple handling. This jigger is best for those who have accurate pours into the jigger as the body of the jigger is skinnier than most. This jigger comes in stainless steel, gold, copper, and gunmetal black, to allow your bar sets to match!

Slick and has graduations to cover you from 0.5oz to 2oz in 0.5oz increments!

The lines are clearly defined and the measurements are accurate to AGLC compared to other jiggers I have used.

 

The Handled Bell Jigger

If you like the bell jigger, this one takes the cake! Not only do you get all the benefits of our bell jigger, including the colors coming in stainless steel, gold, copper, and gunmetal black, but also it has a handle that makes it perfect for low-key situations. If you are making cocktails for speed and efficiency, you may want to skip this jigger as it is best used to display elegance and presentation vs. speed. For most bar collections at home, this is a great piece to add to the collection! 

Multilevel Jigger

Best for Beginners - Multi-Level Jigger

We MAY say it’s for beginners, but this jigger is very versatile for anyone who needs accurate measurements for their cocktail. The special thing about this jigger is that the measurements are on the outside of the jigger with grooves that can help you determine measurements when mixing cocktails. This practice can help you adapt and learn to measure your ingredients and eventually, you may not have to depend on the markings. Another great benefit of this jigger is that it measures up to 2.5 oz vs. most jigger's max size being 2.0 oz.

Good jigger. Just have to get to know how to read the measurements. I like it because it goes to 2.5 oz.
