A cocktail jigger measures the spirit going into every drink, so the same cocktail tastes the same at 6pm as it does at 11pm and you know what each one costs you to pour. Cocktail jiggers stop the slow drift that free-pouring causes, which is why a cocktail measurer is the first tool a new bartender is handed.
You will see the same tool sold as a barman jigger, a jigger measuring tool, a cocktail measuring tool, a bar drink measuring cup, an alcohol measuring jigger or as bartender tools jigger sets. See the rest of the cocktail equipment range for what goes with it.

These are the top FAQs for Cocktail Jiggers
Why measure instead of free-pouring?
Pour cost and consistency. A free pour drifts heavier as a shift gets busier, which quietly moves margin out of every drink.
A jigger on the mat beside the cocktail shaker makes measuring the faster habit, not the slower one.
What jigger sizes should a bar own?
A twin-cone covering a single and a double does most of the work, with a smaller measure for bitters and liqueurs. Buy the sizes your recipes actually call for rather than a full set.
Check the measures printed on each listing, because a bar drink measuring cup is only useful if its graduations match your spec.
Is a jigger or a measuring cup better?
A twin-cone jigger is faster to flip and easier to read at a glance. A graduated cup gives you more measures in one tool but is slower and harder to read in a dark bar.
Most venues keep both: jiggers on the mat for speed, a cup for batching.
What should a jigger be made of?
304 stainless steel. It is the food-safety grade used across Australian commercial kitchens, it does not taint spirits and it survives being dropped and washed daily.
The same grade runs through our stainless steel equipment range.
Do jiggers go through the glasswasher?
Most do, and a wash is better than a rinse because sugar and liqueur residue builds up in the cone. Dry them properly before they go back on the mat.
A glasswasher and glass racks handle the turnaround through service.
How many jiggers does a busy bar need?
One per bartender at minimum, and more if your list is sticky. A jigger with dried liqueur in it is slower than reaching for a clean one.
Keep spares with the rest of your bar accessories.
What else makes pours consistent?
Pour spouts that run at a predictable rate, a mat that catches the spill, and written specs behind the bar so everyone works to the same recipe.
Bar mats and cocktail spoons finish the station.
