Maybe I got a defective one 🙃 Nah - even my large 2 cup OXO (plastic) fades after a while...in yours, possibly the alcohol helps too. These are kinda cool, but don't offer the precision of those cheapo Oxos... https://www.cocktailkingdom.com/all-barware/jiggers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 My jigger has the measures engraved. 😎 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I really need to look up the history of the jigger (particularly the etymology) in The Oxford Companion to Spirits and Cocktails. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Not a cocktail, but: Having a Dopo Teatro, Cocchi's lightly pungent bitter Vermouth, at home alone after a show isn't as congenial as having one in a café in Milan after an opera. But it's better than nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Diancecht Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 what’s the difference between a cocktail and a mixed drink? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I don’t think there is one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 A mixed drink is two ingredients (alcohol plus something else) and ratios don't matter. A cocktail has 3 or more ingredients and it's all about the measurement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 So a Gin & Tonic or a Fernet con Coca isn't a cocktail? (That's a genuine question, not an argumentative one.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 These are highballs. Not cocktails. It would take some research to know where the rules originate but that’s my take. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I'll just put these here, and let the arguments flow... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I'm surprised there's been so little conversation/debate/argument about this. I would have expected pages upon pages of posts. What happened to the MF that we all know and love? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I think the definitions are pretty much codified; as to whether a mocktail is a cocktail, well that's a whole other story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
