Jigger Drip Tray 15cm, Stainless Steel, Removable Rack

For anyone measuring with a jigger, which means any bar working from recipes. A jigger just used always drips, and those drops end up on the top: after twenty drinks the bar is sticky in one spot, always the same one, and at the end of the night it needs degreasing rather than wiping.

It is not only about cleaning. A jigger set down on a wet bar picks up from underneath whatever is on the top, and carries it into the next drink: two drops of leftover syrup in a Martini are noticeable. The tray holds the jigger raised on a rack, so the base stays clean and dry, and that is the technical reason this accessory exists rather than a taste for a tidy station.

• Material: stainless steel
• Diameter: 15cm
• Rack: top, removable
• Use: standing and draining jiggers

The rack lifts off, and that is the point

A drip tray you cannot empty properly turns into a small stagnant pool. Here the rack comes away from the base, so what has collected goes down the sink and both parts get washed. It sounds obvious, and it is the difference between an accessory that stays in service and one that ends up in a drawer after a fortnight.

Choose the jigger drip tray if

You measure with a jigger rather than free pouring, the bar is in view of the room and you want it clean in front of the guest, and you own more than one jigger and find yourself hunting for them. It is one of the cheapest accessories on the whole station and one of the few used on every single drink.

Care

Empty and rinse it every night with the rack lifted. It is the job that sits at the bottom of the closing list and is worth doing first, while the bar is still lit: syrup and liqueur residue left overnight dries into a crust that has to be scraped.

Fifteen centimetres on the bar

That is a footprint to count in, because on a narrow station every fifteen centimetre disc takes room from something else. The right position is between the bottles and the point where the drink is built, on the side of the pouring hand: the route is then pick up the jigger, pour, set it back, without crossing the bar. Anyone who puts it far away stops using it, and that is how a useful accessory becomes a coaster.
