Homonym: jigger (Measurement)
A jigger is a small measuring tool used in bartending to pour precise amounts of alcohol. Typically made of metal or plastic, it usually has two sides, with one side measuring 1.5 ounces (a standard shot) and the other side measuring 1 ounce. This helps bartenders create consistent cocktails and maintain proper drink ratios.
In addition to its use in bars, a jigger can also be found in home kitchens for measuring spirits in recipes. Accurate measurements are essential for achieving the desired flavor and strength in drinks, making the jigger an important tool for both professional and amateur mixologists.
