Jigger Mr SLIM 25 /50 ml (REPLICA) [MEZCLAR] is a double-sided cocktail measure characterised by its tall, exceptionally narrow profile inspired by Japanese-style jiggers.
The 25 ml and 50 ml capacities are incorporated into a slender construction with two elongated cups and a narrow central waist. The result is an elegant and easily recognisable silhouette that differs considerably from shorter and more robust classic jiggers.
The model sold under the MEZCLAR brand is a REPLICA version and should not be confused with the original Mr. Slim jigger made in Japan.
What does Japanese Style Measure mean?
In barware, the term Japanese Style Jigger is used for jiggers with a characteristic geometry: a tall profile, elongated cups and a very narrow central section.
This shape clearly distinguishes them from classic double-sided jiggers with shorter and wider cups and has become one of the most recognisable silhouettes in contemporary bartending.
For this product, “Japanese Style” describes the shape and style of the jigger. It does not indicate the country of manufacture and does not mean that this is the original Japanese model.
REPLICA – an important distinction
This product is a REPLICA version sold under the MEZCLAR brand.
Original Japanese Mr. Slim models are available on the international market, but this product should not be confused with them.
The REPLICA designation is stated explicitly to make this distinction transparent. The product follows the characteristic Mr SLIM style, while its dimensions, capacities, weight, materials and construction may differ from the original models.
Two practical measures: 25 ml and 50 ml
The jigger has two cups with different main capacities:
- 25 ml – small cup;
- 50 ml – large cup.
The bartender can simply flip the jigger according to the quantity required, providing both measures in a single bar tool.
The 25 /50 ml combination is practical for a wide range of cocktail recipes and for bartenders who prefer to work directly with metric measurements.
Why does measuring cocktail ingredients matter?
A jigger is used to measure liquid ingredients during cocktail preparation, including spirits, liqueurs, syrups, juices and other components specified in a recipe.
The proportions of these ingredients directly influence the flavour and balance of the finished drink. Using a measure makes it easier to reproduce the quantities specified in a recipe consistently rather than relying on visual estimation.
This is particularly useful in a bar where the same cocktail is prepared repeatedly or by several different bartenders.
Measuring can also contribute to better control of ingredient consumption. Differences of only a few millilitres, repeated across a large number of drinks, can affect total ingredient usage and the actual number of servings obtained from a bottle.
What makes the SLIM profile different?
The defining feature of the Mr SLIM model is its tall and exceptionally narrow construction. Two elongated cups are joined by a slim central waist, creating the characteristic silhouette associated with this type of jigger.
Compared with a CLASSIC model, its shape is more slender and visually distinctive. For bartenders who consider both functionality and the design of their bar tools important, this can be a significant factor when choosing a jigger.
The SLIM design also involves a compromise
The particularly slender shape is not only an aesthetic difference.
Its narrow construction is more sensitive to mechanical impact, pressure and deformation than a jigger with a more robust profile.
For this reason, we recommend choosing the Mr SLIM for its distinctive shape and handling characteristics while also treating it with greater care.
If resistance to impacts and rough handling in a busy bar is the main priority, a jigger with a more solid construction may be a better choice.
25 /50 ml or 20 /40 ml?
The most suitable capacity depends on the quantities used most frequently in your cocktail recipes.
The 25 /50 ml version is practical for bartenders who regularly work with these two volumes. If your recipes are predominantly based on 20 ml and 40 ml quantities, a 20 /40 ml version may be more convenient.
There is no universally better capacity. In a cocktail bar with a varied menu, having more than one jigger size available can be useful.
Mr SLIM vs. CLASSIC vs. AERO
Shape is an important consideration when choosing a jigger:
- Mr SLIM – tall and exceptionally narrow profile with a silhouette inspired by Japanese-style jiggers;
- CLASSIC – simple, traditional and more compact construction;
- AERO – elongated profile with a narrowed central section, but with different geometry and handling characteristics compared with Mr SLIM.
Mr SLIM is an interesting choice for bartenders who prefer a slender and distinctive jigger. For environments where bar tools are frequently knocked, dropped or compressed between other equipment, we recommend considering a more robust model.
How should the Mr SLIM be handled?
Because of its particularly slender profile, this model requires more careful handling than a robust jigger.
- Avoid drops and mechanical impacts;
- Do not strike the jigger against shakers or other metal bar tools;
- Do not apply pressure to the narrow central section;
- Do not store heavy objects on top of the jigger;
- Avoid abrasive sponges and materials that may scratch the surface;
- We recommend hand washing and drying after cleaning.
Careful handling helps preserve the characteristic shape of the Mr SLIM model.
Is it suitable for bar use?
The jigger can be used for measuring ingredients during cocktail preparation in bars, restaurants, hotels or at home.
For bartenders who appreciate a narrow profile, distinctive shape and the practical 25 /50 ml format, Mr SLIM can be an interesting option.
For venues where bar tools are subjected to particularly rough handling, we recommend comparing this model with a more robust jigger before choosing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the original Japanese Mr. Slim jigger?
No. This product is a REPLICA version sold under the MEZCLAR brand. The term “Japanese Style” describes the shape of the jigger and does not indicate its country of manufacture.
What is a Japanese-style jigger?
It describes a style characterised by elongated cups, a tall profile and a very narrow central waist. Its shape is distinctly different from that of a classic jigger.
What capacities does it have?
The small cup has a capacity of 25 ml, while the large cup holds 50 ml.
Is it more delicate than a classic jigger?
Yes. Its very narrow profile makes it more sensitive to mechanical impact, pressure and deformation than a jigger with a more robust construction. Careful handling is therefore recommended.
Should I choose 20 /40 ml or 25 /50 ml?
Choose according to the quantities you use most frequently. If you predominantly work with 25 ml and 50 ml, this version is more practical; for recipes based mainly on 20 ml and 40 ml, the 20 /40 ml version may be more convenient.
Is it suitable for cocktail preparation?
Yes. It is designed for measuring liquid ingredients during cocktail preparation and following the quantities specified in recipes.
