Frequently Asked Questions
What size cocktail jigger do I need for making drinks at home?
▼
The best size depends on the cocktails you make most often and the measurements used in your recipes. Many jiggers are double ended, giving you two different measures in one tool, while others may use a different shape or capacity. Check the individual product page for the exact measurements so you can choose one that suits the way you mix drinks.
How do I use a cocktail jigger without overpouring?
▼
Fill the jigger to the required measure, hold it steadily over your shaker or mixing glass, then pour the ingredient in one smooth movement. Using the correct side or marked measure helps keep each drink consistent and reduces guesswork, especially when a recipe calls for several different quantities.
Are cocktail jiggers suitable for beginners?
▼
Yes. A jigger is one of the simplest bar tools to use and can be especially helpful when you are starting out, as it makes it easier to follow cocktail recipes accurately. It is also compact, easy to store and useful for anyone who wants more consistent results at home.
What is the difference between stainless steel, gold and rose gold jiggers?
▼
The main difference is the finish and how the piece fits with the rest of your barware. Stainless steel has a clean, classic look, while gold and rose gold finishes add a warmer, more decorative feel. Check the individual product details for material, finish and care guidance, particularly if you want to match an existing home bar.
Can cocktail jiggers go in the dishwasher?
▼
Care requirements vary depending on the material and finish. Stainless steel jiggers may be more straightforward to care for, while plated or coloured finishes can require gentler cleaning to help preserve their appearance. Always check the Materials & Care information on the individual product page before putting a jigger in the dishwasher.
