JUST LIKE 1999
AND HOW WE DO IT



Just Like 1999 is one of our bestsellers and a personal favorite because of its apparent simplicity. Best described as ‘a minimalist flower bomb’, it’s a fitting illustration of Jigger's DNA.

This drink originated with an apple eau de vie, containing the essence of tons of organic apples we picked by hand in an old orchard with 40 friends of the bar on a sunny afternoon in 2015. These bottles are near extinct and at the moment we are using an amazing apple cider eau de vie from Christian Drouin. A beautiful Calvados distillerie in the heart of Normandie with a long history.

Verjuice, literally 'green juice', is the juice of unripe grapes that have been cut off grapevines to allow other vines to grow larger.  Verjuice has a beautiful acidity that keeps year-round, which makes it an excellent and ecological alternative for lemon juice.

We produce about 80 liters of elderflower syrup yearly, with flowers we harvest locally by hand in spring


Just like 1999 is only one of our many creations. The Jigger's menu changes weekly, and there's a similar origin story for each of your drink's ingredients. We put a lot of effort into producing, processing, and serving local and seasonal syrups, liquors, and garnish.


From early spring to late fall, our team forages at least twice a week in fields and forests nearby. We pick up leftover fruits and vegetables at local farms, and we preserve our goods with traditional (organic) techniques.
