Pedrini Stainless Steel Double Jigger

 (10 customer reviews)

Yes, the item in question is attractive and well-made. But ask yourself whether the units of measurement--3/4 oz. and 1-1/4 ozs.--are what you're likely to use. Since most standard drinks involve measurements of 1 oz., 1-1/2 ozs., or 2 ozs., I've found this isn't a very practical "jigger."

I use this jigger at home, and it is definitely well made and high quality, having been dropped on the floor many times with no dent or crinkles.However, as other reviewers rightly point out, this is not the usual size for a jigger, and it is an odd measurement amount of 1-1/4 and 3/4 oz, when most drinks are calling for multiples of the half-ounce in the ingredients.Still, this is handy for some of those classic cocktails that require some odd measurements/rations of ingredients (such as the Aviation or Floridita), where you will need 1-1/4 ounce.So get this one, because you will likely need it if you truly venture into the world of classic cocktails, but get yourself first the standard size jigger first.

Most drinks recipes call for measurments in even sizes-- 1 oz, 2 oz, or 3 oz. This jigger is a 3/4 oz and 1 1/4 oz measurments-- which is not a useful size for cocktails. Please shop around for a 1 oz and 1 1/2 oz size jigger-- which is the standard jigger size. As a consumer I also recommend to shop around for the best price.Also if you like this jigger because of the stainless steel material, not to fret. Most jiggers are made with the same grade 18/10 or 18/9 stainless steel.
