What the AI looks for in Jiggers
- Interior markings
- The jigger should have etched lines inside each cup for common fractions such as 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 oz. Unmarked jiggers force guesswork on the small pours that make or break a drink.
- Cup sizes
- Choose sizes matching your recipes: 1 oz and 2 oz, or 3/4 oz and 1 1/2 oz in imperial, or 25/50 ml in metric. Recipes are written in fixed units. A mismatched jigger means constant conversion.
- Shape
- Tall, narrow Japanese-style cups make reading the fill line easier than wide, shallow bell cups. Narrow cups show small volume differences more clearly.
- Material
- Stainless steel with clearly etched lines rather than painted or printed ones. Printed markings wash off.
Brands that matter
- Cocktail Kingdom: Its Leopold and Japanese-style jiggers are bar standards.
- OXO: Angled, easy-to-read home jiggers.
- Mercer Culinary (Barfly): Commercial jiggers in imperial and metric sizes.
What to avoid
- Jiggers with printed rather than etched markings
- Unmarked hourglass jiggers if you follow precise recipes
