The DECO Jigger 15 /30 ml [THE BARS] is a stainless steel cocktail measure with two cups of 15 ml and 30 ml. Its compact format and distinctive DECO design set it apart from traditional jiggers with a simpler profile.
At approximately 6.5 cm high and weighing around 90 g, the J030 model combines compact dimensions with a construction that feels solid in the hand.
Two measures: 15 ml and 30 ml
The double-sided construction provides quick access to two main capacities:
- 15 ml – small cup;
- 30 ml – large cup.
The bartender can simply flip the jigger according to the quantity required, providing two useful measures in a single bar tool.
The 15 ml and 30 ml capacities are particularly useful for recipes that require smaller quantities of ingredients such as liqueurs, syrups, juices, spirits or other cocktail components.
When is a 15 /30 ml jigger useful?
A 15 /30 ml jigger is an interesting choice when your recipes frequently require smaller quantities than those offered by common 20 /40 ml or 25 /50 ml models.
The 15 ml cup is useful for smaller portions within a recipe, while the 30 ml cup provides a second practical measure without relying on visual estimation.
The right jigger capacity should therefore be selected according to the recipes and working method used behind the bar, rather than simply choosing the largest available measure.
Stainless steel construction
The DECO Jigger is made from stainless steel, a material widely used for bar tools because of its practical properties and resistance to corrosion.
The metal surface should be protected from abrasive cleaning materials and accessories to reduce the risk of scratching and help preserve the appearance of the product.
Distinctive DECO design
Unlike a traditional jigger with two simple cups, the DECO model has a more decorative profile and a clearly defined central section.
Its characteristic shape makes it easy to recognise among other tools at the bar station and provides an alternative for bartenders who prefer a compact jigger with a more distinctive appearance.
DECO is the model name, and this product forms part of the THE BARS range of bar accessories.
Approximately 90 g in a compact format
An interesting characteristic of this model is its weight of approximately 90 g in relation to its compact height of around 6.5 cm.
This gives the jigger a solid feel in the hand despite its relatively small dimensions and distinguishes it from very lightweight, basic jigger designs.
Why use a jigger?
The proportions of ingredients directly influence the flavour and balance of a cocktail. Using a jigger makes it easier to follow the quantities specified in a recipe.
This is particularly useful when the same drink is prepared repeatedly or by several bartenders, as consistent measuring helps produce more repeatable results from one preparation to the next.
Measuring ingredients can also contribute to better control of consumption. A difference of only a few millilitres may seem insignificant in one cocktail, but repeated across many servings it can affect overall ingredient use and the actual yield obtained from a bottle.
DECO 15 /30 ml or a larger jigger?
The right choice depends primarily on the quantities you use most frequently in your cocktail recipes.
- 15 /30 ml – useful for ingredients and recipes that frequently require smaller measures;
- 20 /40 ml – an alternative for recipes based around these two quantities;
- 25 /50 ml – practical when 25 ml and 50 ml are the predominant measures.
There is no universally better capacity. In a professional bar, having more than one jigger size can be useful when the cocktail menu contains recipes based on different quantities.
For bars or home use?
The DECO Jigger can be used both in bar environments and for preparing cocktails at home.
For bartenders, its compact format can be useful as a dedicated measure for smaller quantities or as an additional jigger at the bar station. At home, the two cups provide a straightforward way to follow recipes that specify 15 ml and 30 ml quantities.
Designed for cocktail preparation
This jigger is designed primarily for measuring ingredients during cocktail preparation and following the quantities specified in recipes.
Requirements for instruments used to measure declared commercial quantities may vary by country. Where a particular use legally requires a controlled measuring instrument, a measure that complies with the applicable local metrology requirements should be used.
