The Budgie Cocktail Bar
Double Jigger
The jigger: a bartender's best friend and the customer's enemy, pretty much because it means you’re only going to get the precise amount of alcohol – but you're at home so go for it! The term ‘jigger’ has a mixed history: some think it came from old British sailors, but another popular reasoning came from the use of the term ‘thing-a-ma-jig’, because no one really knew what to call it.
The double jigger is 12cm tall. The small measurement side has a volume of 30mL and the large measurement side has a volume of 45mL.
Once you're all measured up, give everything a good stir with our Bar Spoon.

The stainless jigger is coated in gunmetal grey. The jigger is intended for those over the age of 18. The jigger is not suitable for dishwashers and we recommend a hand wash in warm soapy water before its first use.

How long does delivery take?
We work hard to get all orders out within a few days, and then for shipping it depends on where your order is going and what service you select. For standard delivery, we'll ballpark 4-10 business days and for an express service, somewhere between 1-6 business days (generally).
Please note that during some of our larger retail sale periods, dispatch and delivery may take longer than normal.
Do you offer next-day or same-day delivery?
It can be arranged on occasion. It depends where your order needs to go and how close it is to us in Ringwood.
How long do the cocktails last?
They vary depending on what they're made of. If you have your eye on a particular cocktail, check it out as its single cocktail listing to learn about its ingredients and get some serving suggestions. On average, either 3-6 months or indefinitely.
Can I add a note to my order?
You can! We offer some nice gift wrapping options or simply add it as a note on the order (at the bottom of the cart) and we'll be sure to include it.
How big are the bottles?
Each glass cocktail bottle is 100mL which we recommend as a single serve.
Can you leave out the receipt?
We've gone paperless for receipts so you'll never get one in with your order - only electronically via your confirmation email.

Up to 48 cocktails in a single retail transaction.
