About this deal
Vintage Dispensers Inc ~ Los Angeles, New York ~ 8 oz Glass Beaker, Measuring Cup, No Spout ~ Apothecary, Laboratory, Kitchen Glassware When it comes to shots, there is some confusion about exactly how much alcohol is in them. Some people think that there is one ounce of alcohol in every shot, while others believe that there is 1.5 ounces of alcohol in every shot. So, which is it?
My partner has commented on how he only likes to use the fancy measuring spoons now for his coffee etc... ha! Jump’s fellow Death & Co. Denver bartender Jon Feuersanger offers another handy option for the at-home bartender: “The measuring devices I use at home that are 100 percent [utilitarian] and easy-to-use are the OXO steel-angled jiggers.” According to him, these workhorse jiggers function as a mini measuring cup and hit all the main measurements in one, from 0.25 ounces to 2 ounces. Plus, the price is hard to beat—even if it doesn't have that iconic look that makes the others feel like more attractive options.

The wider style also keeps the measuring cup stable. A jigger is a bartending tool used to measure liquor in ounces. There are typically two sides to a jigger, each with its own measurement. Most bartenders will use the smaller side for shots and the larger side for mixed drinks. Measure your ingredients in a measuring cup for an easy conversion. If you don’t have any bartending specific tools, use a clear measuring cup that you already have. Ones that don’t hold much volume are the best because they will have smaller measurements on the side. Pour your ingredients in the measuring cup 1 at a time and add them up as you go.

It’s also important to note that different types of liquor have different alcohol contents. So, if you are using a liquor that is higher in alcohol content, you will need to use less of it to achieve the desired strength. For example, 80 proof vodka has a 40% alcohol content, while 80 proof bourbon has a 50% alcohol content. fluid ounce (30 mL) of alcohol is a standard shot, and 1.5 fluid ounces (44 mL) is a jigger. Use slightly less than a full shot of alcohol if your drink calls for a pony.Three Spouts Hazel Atlas GREEN VASELINE Vintage Glass One Cup Measuring Cup - Raised Numbers and Letters with Cup and OZ - Fantastic Cup!
