Answers:
a jigger is a measurment not a brand
A jigger is a unit of measurement. It is the equivalent of 3 tablespoons. Liquor stores usually sell special measuring spoons for this, but you could just as easily use your own.
A jigger is a measurement term that equals a "shot glass", or about 1.5 oz/45 ml. It's a standard serving/measuring size for mixing up alcoholic drinks or serving a single straight "shot" of liquor. If you have a shot glass, you can use that as a measure - if it's not marked for volume, it'll likely be somewhere between 1.5 and 2 oz in capacity.
a large shot glass is a jigger
