Our full review

The OXO Double Jigger Measuring Cup brings a fresh, kitchen-tool sensibility to the home bar, replacing the traditional stainless steel hourglass jigger with a clear, angled vessel that looks like a miniature measuring cup. Made from sturdy, BPA-free plastic, it features two spouts and internal markings that measure common cocktail pours on one side and ounces and milliliters on the other, allowing you to see exactly how much liquid you're pouring rather than guessing by feel or eyeballing a fill line at the rim. This transparency is the jigger's signature advantage: because you can look down into the cup and watch the liquid rise to a precise, printed line, it takes the ambiguity out of measuring spirits, liqueurs, and mixers, which is especially useful for anyone still building confidence with cocktail proportions.

The design includes graduated markings for popular measurements like a tablespoon, one ounce, and one and a half ounces, along with metric equivalents, so it functions equally well for classic jiggered pours and for recipes that call for more exact, small-batch measuring. The wide, stable base and comfortable angled shape make it easy to hold steady over a mixing glass or shaker, while the open-top design allows for quick pouring and even easier cleaning than traditional two-sided metal jiggers, which often trap liquid in their cones and require shaking out or wiping between uses. Being dishwasher safe adds to its everyday practicality, letting it slide right in with the rest of your bar tools and glassware without special hand-washing steps that many metal jiggers demand to avoid water spots or tarnishing.

Compact enough to store in a drawer or utensil crock, the OXO Double Jigger Measuring Cup suits both casual home bartenders who want consistent cocktails and more serious enthusiasts who appreciate precision without the fuss of specialty barware. Its clear construction also makes it simple to double-check a pour before adding it to a shaker, reducing waste from over-pouring expensive spirits or throwing off a recipe's balance. Whether you're mixing a simple gin and tonic, building a layered Manhattan, or measuring syrups and juices for a more elaborate cocktail program, this jigger offers a practical, easy-to-read alternative to traditional bar measuring tools, marrying OXO's familiar kitchen-gadget clarity with the specific needs of cocktail preparation.

Finally, a jigger I can actually read

The angled markings make such a huge difference. I used to guess with my old jigger, but this one lets me see the exact measurement without holding it up to the light. Great quality too.

Great for home bartending

Solid build and comfortable to hold. My only gripe is I wish it had a 3 oz marking for bigger cocktails, but for standard recipes it's spot on.

Sturdy and accurate

I make cocktails almost every weekend and this jigger has become a staple. The etched lines have held up well even after months of use.

Compact and practical

Perfect size for my bar cart drawer. The grip is nice, though in dim lighting the etched numbers can be a little tricky to see.
