Jigger

Definition

Ein Jigger ist ein Barmaß gleich 1,5 US-Flüssigunzen (44,36 ml), das als Standard-Einzelschuss in den USA verwendet wird.

Erklärung

Most double-ended jiggers have a 1.5 oz (44 mL) side and a 1 oz (30 mL) pony side. Some recipes call for a 'short' jigger of 1 oz or a 'large' jigger of 2 oz, so clarifying is important. The word likely derives from the nautical term for a small rigging tool. Consistent jigger use is the primary factor separating reproducible cocktails from inconsistent pours.
