Old Ritz 1930s Etched-Crystal Double Cocktail Jigger (Gift Box Collection)

"A Cocktail Should Always Be Perfect" (Frank of the Ritz)

Through the 1930s, the Ritz Hotel was the first port of call in Paris for American expats in search of a drink.  The Ritz Bar became one of the most select watering holes in the world and Frank Meier, the drink-shaker-in-charge, burnished a reputation for inventive concoctions that have become the stuff of legend.  

While many bartenders of the era used a sherry glass to measure out ingredients, "Frank of the Ritz" employed a French glassmaker to produce a double-sided "jigger" for measuring the perfect amounts of ingredients in the preparation of cocktails.  Offered is a reproduction of the vintage Ritz Bar Jigger, handcrafted in fine crystal by European artisans, with precise 2-ounces and 1-ounce measurements. Taller and more narrow than standard jiggers, which can help prevent spills while pouring.  An exclusive, limited-edition bar accessory for the home and professional bartender alike.  Offered in a Gift Box, for keeping or giving.
