“A Cocktail Should Always Be Perfect.” — Frank Meier

In the 1930s, Paris hotel bars became sanctuaries for American expatriates and connoisseurs alike—places where the cocktail was elevated from diversion to discipline. At the center of this refinement stood Frank Meier, legendary head bartender of the Ritz Paris, whose insistence on precision reshaped modern mixology.

While many bartenders of the era relied on sherry glasses or estimation, Meier demanded accuracy. To achieve it, he collaborated with a French glassmaker to create a double-sided measuring jigger—an innovation that ensured perfect balance in every cocktail.

This Crystal Paris Hotel Bar Jigger is a faithful tribute to that original tool. Handcrafted in fine, lead-free crystal, it features exact 2-ounce and 1-ounce measures, its slender profile offering superior control and effortless pouring. Beautifully balanced in the hand, it transforms measuring from a task into a ritual.

An exclusive, limited-edition bar accessory, this jigger belongs beside fine spirits and thoughtful craftsmanship. Presented in a Gift Box, it is both a working tool and a collector’s piece—made for those who believe that every cocktail deserves precision, and every detail matters.
