A double jigger comprises two cup portions. Each cup portion faces in an opposite direction from one another and each has an open top for receiving a liquid or a pourable solid and a bottom which leads to a common open channel. A pliable center portion is disposed between and connects the two cup portions and contains the common open channel. The channel is subject to blockage upon application of exterior pressure on the pliable center portion, for example, if a user were to pinch the center portion between a thumb and fingers.
