Jiggers
The cocktail jigger, an essential professional accessory for making cocktails
A delicious, well-prepared cocktail is first and foremost a drink in which the alcohol, syrup and/or soda are correctly measured. To help the bartender make this drink, a measuring jug is essential for measuring the ingredients to be mixed in the shaker glass. Buffet Plus offers a range of sizes for cocktail jiggers
For example, you'll find cocktail jiggers for bartenders and catering professionals, or alcohol measuring jugs for cocktails. This equipment allows you to measure the amount of alcohol and syrup you need to make your drinks a success.
The cocktail jiggers available are graduated, with measurements corresponding to the usual doses of alcohol in cocktails, between 2 and 5 cl. They are ideal for use in the catering industry. They are also used in confectionery.
Why choose a Buffet Plus cocktail jigger?
There are many advantages to using a stainless-steel jigger. Firstly, stainless steel is a material that is highly resistant to impact and corrosion. So, you can be sure that your graduated jigger will last a long time. Secondly, stainless steel alcohol jiggers are easy to maintain as they are dishwasher safe. Finally, you can also take advantage of the benefits of an aged stainless steel or copper finish, which is particularly attractive.

Which model of professional jigger should I choose?
Choosing a professional jigger depends on a number of factors, such as its capacity, the precision required and the specific features you are looking for. Here are some tips to help you choose the right professional jigger for your bar or catering establishment.
Type of jigger: There are two main types of professional cocktail jiggers: gauge jigger and electronic jigger. Gauge jiggers are more traditional and use fixed measurements, while electronic jiggers offer greater accuracy and sometimes additional features such as the ability to program recipes.
Capacity and volume: Make sure the jiggers can handle the amount of liquid you plan to measure on a regular basis. Some jiggers are designed for larger volumes, while others are better at accurately measuring small quantities.
Accuracy: if accuracy is critical to your business, an electronic jigger may be preferable as it will generally provide more accurate readings than a non-electronic jigger.
Ease of use and cleaning: choose a model that is easy to use and clean, as this contributes to efficiency and hygiene in a professional environment.
Durability and materials: choose a cocktail jigger made from robust, durable materials that can withstand intensive use and frequent washing.
Cost: determine your budget and look for a jigger that offers the best value for money while meeting your specific needs.
The different types of cocktail jigger and their capacities
The cocktail bar measure is also known as the jigger. The jigger is a set of two opposing cones of different sizes joined together in the shape of an hourglass. The jigger is usually made of metal (stainless steel). Some models, especially Japanese ones, can be made of gold! One cone measures a single legal shot and the other measures a multiple or fraction of that.
The most common measurements are 2 cl / 4 cl; the Japanese jigger is 3 cl / 6 cl. In the UK the most common measurements are 25ml / 50ml or 35ml.
The cocktail jigger can also be used in cooking and baking to measure a small amount of liquid or alcohol, as it allows precise dosing.
