Which Side Of The Jigger Is A Shot?
In a typical jigger, the side with a smaller volume is considered a shot. The standard size of a shot is 1.5 ounces, while the larger side of the jigger usually holds 2 ounces. The smaller side of the jigger is also often referred to as a “pony” shot. Bartenders use jiggers to measure precise amounts of liquids for cocktails or other mixed drinks.
