jigger
Bartender's measuring cup
A jigger is a small measuring cup used for pouring liquor, typically holding one to two ounces: The bartender used a jigger to measure the whiskey.
The word extends to various small mechanical devices and gadgets—a jigger might be a golf club, a fishing lure, or any small thing whose proper name escapes you.
In this catch-all sense, it overlaps with thingamajig and doohickey.
