A "jigger" can either be a measuring device used by bartenders, or a unit of measure (typically 1.5 ounces).
As a measuring device, the typical jigger is a metal, hour-glass shaped receptacle, which can measure two different amounts. The larger end would measure a "jigger" (1.5 ounces) and the smaller end would measure a "pony" (1 ounce).
Ounces versus ml
For cocktail recipes measured in "ounces" it is common to use 1/4 ounce increments, which is how virtually all jiggers are set up with. Here is a comparison of 1/4 ounce increments to their milliliter equivalent.
| oz | ml |
|---|---|
| 1 tsp | 5 |
| 1/4 | 7.5 |
| 1/2 | 15 |
| 3/4 | 22.5 |
| 1 | 30 |
| 1 1/4 | 37.5 |
| 1 1/2 | 45 |
| 1 3/4 | 52.5 |
