Intro

You’ve seen them at the bar. The little metal thimbles bartenders use before they pour your glass of wine or measure a spirit. You know why? Because guesswork isn’t a legal measure, and when you’re trying to be more mindful about what’s going in your glass, it’s not very helpful either.

We’re not suggesting jiggers become centrepieces at your dinner table. But if you’re aiming to reset your relationship with alcohol, having the right tools makes a quiet but important difference.

Why this set?

We recommend a full 7-piece stainless steel jigger set:
25ml, 35ml, 35ml, 50ml, 70ml, 125ml, 175ml, and 250ml

Looks sharp and does the job from a single gin through to an XL glass of wine.

Stackable, sturdy, dishwasher-safe

  • Stackable, sturdy, and surprisingly sleek
  • No guesswork, no weird plastic gimmicks
  • Just the tool every at-home drinker should quietly own

Why it works for Resetters

  • Better Awareness: You see the volume. It sinks in.
  • More Control: Especially when tracking units or tweaking your evening wind-down habits
  • Useful for Mocktails too: And let’s be honest, when you’re subbing in, taste balance matters
  • You’ll Actually Use It: This isn’t a novelty. It’s a quietly effective support tool


ARC take

I use this set at home, not because I’m joyless about drinking (far from it!), but because I like to know where I stand, especially if it’s a weeknight. Moderation works best when it’s measured. Generosity, especially after a long day, is not always a virtue.

No hard sell. It’s just something I genuinely recommend to anyone trying to be a bit more deliberate. Whether you’re pouring wine, spirits, ingredients, mixers, keeping track doesn’t need to be clinical. Just honest.
