Bartending Measuring Cups

bartending measuring cups

One of the most important bartending tools is a pair of bartending measuring cups. Whether you use a double jigger or single cup, these tools help you measure the exact amount of mixer or liquor. Jiggers come in many different sizes, but the most popular size is 1.5 oz. (45 ml), which is enough for one shot of a mixed drink. To use a jigger, fill a shot glass with liquor and pour the liquor into the measuring cup. Next, add the mixer to the drink.

Among the different types of measuring cups, jiggers are the easiest to use, especially for bartenders who are just starting out. They have many of the popular measurements printed on the outside, allowing you to control the amount you pour. The bell jigger is another popular option, which features an ergonomic design. The cups have rounded edges and a narrow midsection for ease of pouring. They also have a stable base and make emptying simple.

Whether you’re using jiggers to measure your liquor or just pouring drinks, these measuring cups will ensure your drinks are poured correctly. They also help you stock your bar correctly.
