*Alternative for the Jigger
If you don't have a jigger, you can use:
Measuring spoons:
- 1 oz = 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
- 1/2 oz = 1 tablespoon (15 ml)
Kitchen measuring cups:
Many kitchen measuring cups have markings for ounces and milliliters, allowing you to accurately measure the necessary ingredients without any problem.
*Alternative for the Shaker
If you don't have a shaker, try one of these alternatives:
Jar with a lid (like a Mason jar):
Fill it with the ingredients and ice, seal the lid tightly, and shake it like a shaker. It works great for mixing and chilling ingredients.
Coffee thermos:
A coffee thermos (well cleaned, to avoid mixing smells or flavors) can function as a shaker when closed and shaken. It’s a solid option.
Tall glass and spoon:
If your mocktail or cocktail doesn’t need a strong shake, simply mix the ingredients directly in the glass with a long spoon (or bar spoon, if you have one) and add ice at the end.
