Jigger GINZA 25 /50 ml 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 a gold finish that gives it a distinctive visual presence behind the bar.
The tapered cups and narrow central waist distinguish GINZA from simpler classic jiggers, while its proportions remain more compact than those of very tall and slender Japanese Style models.
GINZA GOLD – Japanese style with an elegant finish
The defining visual feature of this version is its gold finish. It gives the jigger a different appearance from standard metallic models without changing its primary function: measuring ingredients during cocktail preparation.
The GOLD version can be an interesting choice for cocktail bars and bar tool collections where presentation matters, including setups featuring gold-coloured, brass-look or other warm-toned accessories.
GOLD describes the colour and appearance of the finish; it does not mean that the product is made of 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 a wide range of 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.
What characterises the GINZA shape?
GINZA retains the principle of a double-sided jigger with two opposing cups while adopting a shape inspired by Japanese-style cocktail measures: 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 therefore suitable for bartenders who appreciate the aesthetics of Japanese-style jiggers but prefer a shorter measuring tool.
GINZA vs. Classic jigger vs. Slim
The preferred shape depends partly on the bartender's working style and personal preference:
- Classic jigger – simple, 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.
Why is measuring cocktail ingredients important?
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, this becomes particularly useful when the same recipe is prepared by different bartenders. Measuring provides a common reference and helps maintain consistency between servings.
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.
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 jigger is not limited to measuring alcoholic beverages. It can be used for different liquid ingredients required by a cocktail recipe.
Depending on the drink, it can be used for:
- spirits;
- liqueurs;
- vermouth;
- syrups;
- juices;
- other liquid cocktail ingredients.
Gold finish and care
The gold finish is one of the main visual characteristics of this model. Decorative surfaces require careful handling and cleaning to help preserve their appearance over time.
To help protect the surface, we recommend:
- avoiding abrasive sponges and cleaning materials;
- avoiding objects that may scratch the surface;
- cleaning gently after use;
- drying with a soft cloth after cleaning;
- avoiding impacts that may damage the surface or deform the cups.
Depending on frequency of use, cleaning method and contact with other metal bar tools, the appearance of a decorative finish may gradually change over time. Careful handling of the GOLD version is therefore recommended.
GINZA GOLD or GINZA ANTIQUE?
Both versions retain the GINZA shape and the 25 /50 ml configuration. The main difference is their surface appearance:
- GINZA GOLD – bright, elegant gold-coloured appearance;
- GINZA ANTIQUE – vintage character for those who prefer a more classic or industrial aesthetic.
The choice between the two versions is primarily a matter of visual preference and how the jigger matches the other bar tools in use.
