How to Use a Jigger
- Hold the jigger level, between thumb and index finger.
- Fill it to the brim so the liquid forms a slight dome.
- Tip it quickly and fully into the tin.
Tip
Japanese-style jiggers are tall and slim, so small measuring errors matter less.
What to Look For
Choose one with internal lines at ¼, ½ and ¾ oz.
