Get the recipe below and try making our Tequila Orange Jigger Cocktail this weekend. It’s a great summer drink idea, perfect for one or many!
What is A Jigger
The word Jigger is an English term. Jigger means good measure, so you are going to create a mixture with tequila, orange or citrus bitters, orange juice, and more. Don’t forget the Seville Orange jigger for good measure to create the perfect cocktail.
This is my go-to tequila orange juice recipe that is loaded with a kick of flavor and citrus flavor.
Best Tequila to Use With Jiggers
I highly recommend using 1800 Tequila Silver! It offers that smooth blending with the other ingredients. It is our must-have tequila for making exceptional restaurant-quality cocktails at home.
Measurements of a jigger
A jigger is a unit of measurement when it comes to making cocktails. If you see a recipe that calls for a jigger then you will do a 1.5 oz shot glass of the ingredient it is calling for. As all shot glasses vary in size.
But a standard shot of 1.5 or you will see the word jigger.
What mixes good with tequila?
Orange juice and citrus bitters, grapefruit juice, pineapple juice are all great contenders. You can also swap the juice with any of these, to change up this cocktail flavor a bit. Feel free to experiment and let me know what you prefer in terms of flavor.
Can I make this tequila orange jiggers cocktail ahead of time?
It is best to make this drink as you plan to serve it. The ingredients can separate a bit as it sits in the fridge. Plus you will get optimal flavor when you mix it in together, pour and then serve right away!
