The Jigger GINZA 25 /50 ml ROSE GOLD [MEZCLAR] is a double-sided cocktail measure inspired by the characteristic proportions of Japanese-style jiggers. The model combines practical 25 ml and 50 ml capacities with the compact GINZA shape and an elegant Rose Gold finish that gives it a distinctive visual identity.
The tapered cups and narrow central waist distinguish the GINZA from simpler classic jiggers, while its proportions remain more compact than those of very tall and slender Japanese Style models.
GINZA – Japanese style in a compact shape
GINZA retains the principle of two opposing measuring cups while adopting a shape inspired by Japanese-style jiggers: tapered cups combined with a narrow central waist.
The central section provides a natural gripping point between the fingers and makes it easier to turn the jigger from one cup to the other during cocktail preparation.
Compared with very elongated Japanese Style models, GINZA has more compact proportions. It is an interesting choice for bartenders who appreciate Japanese-inspired jigger aesthetics but prefer a shorter measuring tool.
ROSE GOLD – a warm and elegant finish
The defining visual feature of this version is its Rose Gold finish. Its warm metallic tone differs from both a standard metal appearance and a traditional gold-coloured finish, giving the GINZA its own distinctive character.
The ROSE GOLD version can be incorporated into bar tool collections where aesthetics are an important part of the presentation and works particularly well alongside Rose Gold, copper-coloured and other warm metallic accessories.
ROSE GOLD describes the colour and appearance of the finish; it does not mean that the product is made from rose gold or plated with gold.
Two practical measures: 25 ml and 50 ml
The jigger features two main measuring cups:
- 25 ml – small cup;
- 50 ml – large cup.
The 25 /50 ml configuration is practical for many classic and modern cocktail recipes and allows quick switching between the two capacities simply by turning the jigger.
If a recipe requires 25 ml of one ingredient and 50 ml of another, both main quantities can be measured using the same tool.
Why use a jigger for cocktail preparation?
The ratio between ingredients directly influences the flavour and balance of a cocktail. Using a jigger helps follow the quantities specified in a recipe more consistently and makes it easier to reproduce the same drink with similar proportions.
In a cocktail bar, measuring is also important for consistency. When the same recipe is prepared by different bartenders, a jigger provides a common reference for the quantities being used.
Measuring can also contribute to better control over the consumption of spirits, liqueurs, syrups and other ingredients. Differences of only a few millilitres repeated across many servings can affect overall consumption and the number of drinks obtained from a bottle.
GINZA vs. Classic jigger vs. Slim
The preferred shape depends partly on the bartender's working style and personal preference:
- Classic jigger – simple and compact construction focused primarily on functionality;
- GINZA – tapered cups, narrow central waist and compact proportions inspired by Japanese-style jiggers;
- Japanese Style Slim – taller and more elongated construction with a particularly slender silhouette.
GINZA therefore sits between the simplicity of a traditional jigger and the distinctly elongated proportions of Slim models.
How is the GINZA Jigger used?
Select the 25 ml or 50 ml cup according to the quantity required by the recipe, measure the ingredient and transfer it into the vessel used for cocktail preparation.
Measured ingredients can be poured into:
- a Boston shaker;
- a Cobbler shaker;
- a mixing glass;
- directly into the serving glass for cocktails prepared using the build technique.
The narrow central waist makes the jigger easy to grip and helps with quick switching between the two measuring cups.
What ingredients can it measure?
The GINZA jigger is not limited to measuring alcoholic beverages. It can be used for different liquid ingredients required by a cocktail recipe.
- spirits;
- liqueurs;
- vermouth;
- syrups;
- juices;
- other liquid cocktail ingredients.
Rose Gold finish and care
The Rose Gold finish is one of the main visual characteristics of this model, so the surface should be handled carefully during use and cleaning.
To help preserve its appearance, we recommend:
- avoiding abrasive sponges and cleaning products;
- avoiding objects that may scratch the surface;
- cleaning gently after use;
- drying with a soft cloth after cleaning;
- avoiding impacts that may damage the finish or deform the cups.
The appearance of decorative finishes may gradually change over time depending on frequency of use, cleaning method and contact with other metal bar tools.
GINZA ROSE GOLD, GOLD or ANTIQUE?
All three versions retain the GINZA shape and the 25 /50 ml configuration. The main difference is the appearance of the finish:
- GINZA ROSE GOLD – warm metallic tone with an elegant, contemporary character;
- GINZA GOLD – brighter and more traditional gold-coloured appearance;
- GINZA ANTIQUE – vintage character suitable for a more classic or industrial aesthetic.
The choice between the versions is primarily a matter of visual preference and how the jigger complements the other bar tools in use.
