The Jigger GINZA 25 /50 ml COPPER Plated [UrbanBAR] 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 distinctive Copper Plated finish.
The tapered cups and narrow central waist distinguish the GINZA shape from simpler classic jiggers, while its proportions remain more compact than those of very tall and elongated Japanese Style models.
GINZA [UrbanBAR] – Japanese Style cocktail measure
The GINZA shape retains the familiar principle of two opposing measuring cups while adopting lines associated with Japanese-inspired jiggers: tapered cups and 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.
For bartenders who prefer the Japanese Style shape but do not want a particularly tall and slender jigger, GINZA offers an alternative with more compact proportions.
COPPER Plated – a distinctive warm metallic finish
This UrbanBAR version is distinguished by its Copper Plated finish, giving the jigger a warm metallic appearance that stands apart from a conventional stainless-steel look.
The copper-toned appearance works particularly well in bar tool collections built around warm metallic finishes and can contribute to a coordinated presentation when tools are visible to guests during service.
As with other decorative finishes, appropriate care is recommended to help preserve the appearance of the surface during regular use.
25 ml + 50 ml – two capacities in one jigger
The jigger features two main measuring cups:
- 25 ml – smaller measuring cup;
- 50 ml – larger measuring cup.
The 25 /50 ml configuration is practical for many classic and modern cocktail recipes. Simply turning the jigger allows the bartender to switch quickly between the two capacities.
If a recipe calls for 25 ml of one ingredient and 50 ml of another, both quantities can be measured with the same bar tool.
Why measure cocktail ingredients with a jigger?
A cocktail is built around the proportions between its ingredients. The amount of spirit, liqueur, vermouth, syrup or juice directly influences the flavour, intensity and overall balance of the drink.
Using a jigger helps the bartender follow the quantities specified by the recipe more consistently and makes it easier to reproduce the same cocktail with similar proportions from one serving to the next.
In a high-volume bar, measuring can also support better ingredient control. Small differences repeated across many drinks can affect overall consumption and the number of servings obtained from each bottle.
GINZA vs. Classic jigger vs. Japanese Style Slim
There is no single jigger shape that suits every bartender. The preferred design depends on working technique, ergonomics 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 can therefore be a useful option for bartenders who appreciate Japanese-inspired aesthetics but prefer a more compact tool than very elongated Slim models.
How do you use the GINZA Jigger?
Select the appropriate cup according to the quantity required – 25 ml or 50 ml – measure the ingredient according to the recipe and transfer it into the vessel used to prepare the cocktail.
The measured ingredient 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 section between the two cups provides a convenient gripping point and makes it easier to turn the jigger during service.
What ingredients can be measured?
A jigger is not limited to alcoholic ingredients. It can be used to measure a wide range of liquids required by cocktail recipes.
- spirits;
- liqueurs;
- vermouth;
- cocktail syrups;
- juices;
- other liquid cocktail ingredients.
Copper Plated finish – use and care
The Copper Plated finish is one of the defining visual characteristics of this GINZA version. Appropriate care is therefore recommended to help preserve its appearance.
- Avoid abrasive sponges.
- Avoid abrasive cleaning products.
- Avoid rubbing against other metal objects that may scratch the surface.
- Clean gently after use.
- Dry with a soft cloth.
- Avoid impacts that could damage the surface or deform the cups.
The appearance of decorative finishes may gradually change over time depending on frequency of use, cleaning methods and repeated contact with other metal bar tools.
