The CE Marked AERO Jigger 25/50ml COPPER Plated [UrbanBAR] is a professional metal bar measure designed for bars, cocktail bars, restaurants, hotels and other hospitality venues where accurate measuring, recipe consistency and portion control matter.
The combination of 25 ml and 50 ml provides two practical measures in a single tool, making it suitable for spirits, liqueurs, syrups and other liquid ingredients used in cocktail preparation.
The UrbanBAR AERO design combines accurate measuring with a slim, ergonomic shape, while the copper-plated finish gives this version a distinctive appearance for cocktail stations where professional functionality and presentation are equally important.
Why choose a 25/50ml jigger?
A 25/50 ml jigger gives the bartender two useful measures in one tool. Switching between 25 ml and 50 ml is quick, without changing equipment or estimating the quantity by eye.
This makes it a versatile choice for bars working with standardised recipes and serving procedures, where the same drink should be prepared with the same quantities regardless of who is behind the bar.
If your recipes are built around 25 ml and 50 ml portions, using a dedicated jigger for these volumes is more practical and consistent than estimating them with a different-sized measure.
25/50ml or 20/40ml – which jigger should you choose?
There is no single jigger size that is ideal for every bar. The right choice depends on the recipes, portions and serving standards actually used in your venue.
If you mainly work with 25 ml and 50 ml, this version is the natural choice. If your recipes are based primarily on 20 ml and 40 ml, the AERO 20/40 ml model will be more suitable.
The principle is simple: choose the jigger that matches your recipes instead of estimating quantities with the wrong size of measure.
AERO shape – designed for bartender movement
The distinctive AERO profile separates this model from a traditional cylindrical bar measure. Its narrow centre provides a natural grip point, making it easy to hold, turn and switch quickly between the 25 ml and 50 ml sides.
During a busy service, a jigger may be picked up, filled, emptied and turned many times. In this environment, ergonomics are more than a design detail.
The result is a professional measuring tool that combines accurate portioning with a shape suited to the everyday rhythm of professional bartending.
COPPER Plated – professional function with a distinctive finish
The COPPER Plated version maintains the professional functionality and 25/50 ml capacities of the AERO model while adding a warm, elegant finish to the tool.
It is particularly well suited to cocktail bars, hotels, lounges and premium venues where bar tools remain visible to guests and contribute to the overall presentation of the cocktail station.
The plated surface requires appropriate care. Hand washing is recommended, while dishwashers, abrasive sponges and contact with objects that could scratch or damage the finish should be avoided.
Accuracy for cocktails and spirits
The balance of a cocktail depends on the proportions between its ingredients. Even a few millilitres more or less can affect flavour, strength and overall balance, particularly in recipes containing several ingredients.
Using a jigger with clearly defined measures helps bartenders reproduce the same recipe consistently, regardless of the shift or the person preparing the drink.
For the guest, this means greater consistency. For the bar manager, it means a service procedure that is easier to standardise across the team.
Better portion control means better cost control
Accurate measuring is not only about cocktail quality. It can also have a direct impact on beverage costs and bottle yield.
If a standard 50 ml serving repeatedly becomes 53, 55 or 57 ml, the difference may seem small in a single drink. Across dozens or hundreds of servings, however, those extra millilitres can reduce the actual number of portions obtained from each bottle and increase the cost per drink.
With standardised recipes and portions, managers can calculate theoretical drink costs more accurately and compare expected bottle yield with actual consumption.
A jigger does not replace good stock management, but it helps the team follow one simple rule: same drink, same recipe, same measure.
Why use a professional bar measure?
A professional jigger provides a defined reference for every pour. This is particularly useful when recipe consistency, portion control and repeatable drink quality are priorities.
With dedicated 25 ml and 50 ml sides, ingredients can be measured before being added to the shaker, mixing glass or serving glass, helping to reduce variation between drinks.
CE Marked for professional use
The AERO jigger features the applicable CE conformity marking and is designed as a professional volume measuring instrument.
Its metal construction and ergonomic AERO profile make it suitable for everyday use in cocktail bars, restaurants, hotels and other professional beverage service environments.
AERO UrbanBAR or a classic cylindrical jigger?
Both designs perform the same basic task of measuring a defined quantity, but they provide a different handling experience.
A classic cylindrical measure offers a simple, robust and functional construction. The UrbanBAR AERO design places greater emphasis on bartender ergonomics, with a narrow centre that facilitates grip, turning and quick movement between the two measuring sides.
Neither design is automatically better for every bartender. The right choice depends on working style, preferred handling and the equipment setup of the bar.
UrbanBAR AERO 25/50ml COPPER Plated
This model belongs to the professional UrbanBAR AERO range, recognised for its distinctive silhouette and bartender-focused ergonomic design.

Care and Maintenance
To preserve the copper-plated finish, we recommend washing the jigger by hand using a soft sponge or cloth and a mild detergent.
Do not wash in a dishwasher and do not use abrasive materials. Avoid scratching the surface or repeatedly knocking the jigger against other metal bar tools, as this may damage the plated finish.
