The OXO Good Grips Mini Angled Measuring Cup isn’t shaped like a traditional jigger, but it’s the best measuring tool we’ve used for quickly and accurately making cocktails. It’s cheaper than most metal jiggers, and the bright red measurement markings are easy to read from the side or from the top down. Unlike traditional jiggers (which come in only 1-and-2-ounce and ½-and-¾-ounce measures), the OXO measures ¼, ½, 1, 1½, and 2 ounces. It also provides measurements in tablespoons, milliliters, and 1/16 cup, ⅛ cup, and ¼ cup, which is handy, depending on the recipe you’re using. The one drawback to this cup is that it lacks the common ¾-ounce measure, but we think it’s easy enough to eyeball. Since the OXO is shaped like a tiny liquid measuring cup, it’s more stable than most two-sided jiggers, which are tall, narrow, and easy to knock over. The wide mouth is easy to pour into, and the spout prevents it from dripping.
