Answer 1

Answer 2

1 jigger = 1½ oz. liquid = 3 Tbsp.

Answer 3

A "jigger" is an old term for "shot glass".

(A jigger is a hour glass shape metal gadget commonly used by bartenders and used to measure the amount of liquor poured into a drink glass.  One end is 1.5 oz., the other smaller end is .75 oz. )

Shot glasses usually comes in 1 oz or 2 oz sizes

Answer 4

a jigger is a measurer for liquor or liquids some stores have what they call a Jigger Cube it has six ways to measure your liquids in the most commonly measured form is volume. if u dont have one or have the money for one a jigger measurement usually only holds 1 1/2 ounces. so if u have measuring spoons or a measuring cup thatll work too

good luck
