Jiggers
Jigger or Measuring Cup is a useful tool for beginners but also for having a better control of the ingredients that are being used to compose a cocktail. For measuring ingredients, they come in two types: English Units and Metric Units jiggers.
Technique
The jigger is composed for a small cup and a big cup attached together; each side shows the quantity and unit to use.

Available english unit jiggers come in different sizes:
- ½ oz - 1 oz
- ¾ oz – 1¼ oz

Metric Unit Jiggers:

Note:
I would recommend getting both units, since recipes might come in both systems. It works better if you buy two of each type and from different sizes.
