BELL JIGGER

A bell jigger is a type of cocktail jigger that has a unique bell-shaped design. It consists of two cups that are joined at the bottom, forming a bell-like shape. 

One of the benefits of a bell jigger is its unique shape, which allows for easier pouring and more accurate measurements. The bell shape helps to funnel the liquid into the smaller cup, making it less likely for spills or overpouring to occur. Additionally, the larger size of the bell jigger makes it easy to grip and hold steady while pouring.

Bell jiggers are often made from durable materials such as stainless steel or copper, and can be easily cleaned after use. They are a popular choice among professional bartenders and home mixologists alike, thanks to their precise measurements and ease of use.

How do you use a bell jigger?

Using a bell jigger is fairly simple and straightforward. Here are the steps to use a bell jigger for measuring cocktail ingredients:

1. Determine which side of the bell jigger you need to use. The larger cup usually holds 1.5 ounces, while the smaller cup holds 0.75 ounces.
   
   
2. Pour your desired liquid into the larger cup of the bell jigger until it reaches the top.
   
   
3. Hold the bell jigger by the larger cup and tilt it over your mixing glass or shaker tin. The bell shape helps to funnel the liquid into the smaller cup, making it easier to pour without spills or overpouring.
   
   
4. Once the liquid has reached the desired measurement in the smaller cup, stop pouring and return the bell jigger to an upright position.
   
   
5. Repeat the process with any additional ingredients that require measuring, using the appropriate side of the bell jigger for each measurement.

Remember to always be precise and careful when using a bell jigger, as well as any other cocktail measuring tool. Accurate measurements are key to making a well-balanced and delicious cocktail.

How much does a bell jigger line measure?

The measurement of a bell jigger line can vary depending on the size and design of the jigger. However, most bell jiggers have a larger cup that can hold up to 1.5 ounces and a smaller cup that can hold up to 0.75 ounces. The line that separates the two cups is usually located about halfway up the jigger, indicating the 0.75-ounce mark.
