Why Al Buys This

Because "eyeballing it" is how you get inconsistent cocktails and frankly is an attitude problem.

Al's Full Endorsement

The Leopold jigger is the one serious bartenders use. It's Japanese-style — tall, narrow, with interior measurement lines etched into the metal so you can pour to exact volume without the eyeballing that ruins otherwise sound cocktails.

The set includes a 1oz/2oz and a 0.5oz/0.75oz. The etched lines on the interior allow you to measure to quarter-ounce increments. This matters when a recipe calls for ¾ oz of something and you'd otherwise be guessing, which you would be, and you'd be wrong.

Good stainless steel. Pours cleanly. Sits correctly in the hand. I have used many jiggers. This is the one I reach for.
