The AERO Jigger 1oz/2oz TATTOO [UrbanBAR] is a professional cocktail measure combining the ergonomic AERO shape with the distinctive visual identity of UrbanBAR's Tattoo collection.

Made from Japanese 18/8 stainless steel, the jigger uses ounce measurements: the small cup holds 1 oz, while the large cup holds 2 oz. An internal 1.5 oz marking in the larger cup provides an additional useful measure for many international cocktail recipes.

The Tattoo decoration gives a functional piece of professional barware a distinctive character, making this model particularly suitable for bartenders and venues where the appearance of the bar tools is part of the overall presentation.

Why choose a 1oz/2oz jigger?

Unlike 20/40 ml or 25/50 ml jiggers, this model is designed around the ounce measurement system commonly found in international cocktail recipes.

As a practical reference, 1 US fl oz is approximately 29.6 ml, while 2 oz is approximately 59.1 ml. In everyday cocktail terminology, these are often treated as approximately 30 ml and 60 ml.

This makes the AERO 1oz/2oz particularly useful for bartenders working with international cocktail books, training materials and recipes written directly in ounces. Instead of converting each quantity into millilitres, the recipe can be measured using the original units.

What quantities can it measure?

The jigger provides three useful measuring references:

• 1 oz – small cup filled to the rim;
• 1.5 oz – internal marking in the large cup;
• 2 oz – large cup filled to the rim.

This combination is particularly practical for cocktail recipes where base spirits and other ingredients are specified in ounces.

AERO shape designed for bartender movements

The distinctive AERO profile differs from a classic cylindrical measure through its elongated shape and narrow central section.

This creates a natural grip point between the two cups and makes it easier to flip the jigger quickly from one side to the other. During a busy service, when the same measuring movement may be repeated many times, the shape and handling of the tool become an important part of the workflow.

The result is a jigger that combines defined measures with comfortable handling for professional cocktail preparation.

TATTOO design with distinctive character

The UrbanBAR TATTOO collection adds a visual identity inspired by classic tattoo culture, with retro, nautical and rockabilly influences.

The dark decorative motifs contrast with the polished metal surface, turning a functional bartender tool into a distinctive piece of barware.

It is particularly suited to cocktail bars, themed venues, events and competitions, as well as bartenders who prefer tools with more visual personality than a conventional stainless steel jigger.

Japanese 18/8 stainless steel

The jigger is made from Japanese 18/8 stainless steel, a material widely used for professional barware thanks to its good corrosion resistance and suitability for beverage preparation.

The polished metal finish complements the AERO profile while providing a clean background for the black Tattoo decoration.

1oz/2oz vs 20/40ml or 25/50ml

The best jigger capacity depends primarily on the measurement system used in your recipes.

If you regularly work with recipes written in ounces, the 1oz/2oz format is the natural choice. For recipes standardised around 20 ml and 40 ml, a 20/40 ml jigger is generally more practical, while recipes based on 25 ml and 50 ml are better matched to a 25/50 ml model.

For bartenders who frequently use international recipes, working directly in ounces can reduce the need for mental conversions during service.

Consistent measuring for consistent cocktails

A jigger is not simply a tool for preventing overpouring. One of its most important functions in professional cocktail preparation is recipe consistency.

The balance between spirits, liqueurs, syrups, juices, acids and other ingredients directly affects the final drink. If these quantities change from one preparation to another, the flavour and balance of the cocktail will change as well.

Using defined measures helps the team reproduce the same recipe more consistently, regardless of the bartender or shift.

Portion control and beverage costs

Consistent measuring can also support better control of beverage costs.

A difference of only a few millilitres may seem insignificant in a single drink. Repeated across dozens or hundreds of cocktails, however, it can noticeably affect ingredient consumption and the actual yield of a bottle.

Using a jigger together with standardised recipes helps bartenders follow established quantities and gives managers a clearer basis for calculating theoretical ingredient consumption.

Designed for cocktail preparation

This jigger is designed for measuring ingredients during cocktail preparation. Its 1oz, 1.5oz and 2oz references make it particularly suitable for recipes written in the ounce system.

Requirements for measuring instruments used for the commercial sale of specific declared quantities can vary by country. Where regulated measurement is required, use an instrument that complies with the applicable local metrology requirements.

Care for the TATTOO finish

To preserve the polished surface and decorative details, we recommend hand washing with a soft sponge or cloth and a mild detergent.

Avoid abrasive cleaning materials, metal scourers and repeated contact with objects that could scratch the surface.

To help protect the TATTOO decoration over time, avoid cleaning the jigger in a dishwasher.
