I recall my parents having this stainless steel thing on the bar that was like two metal shot glasses attached at the base. The point at which they connected was very narrow.

Whenever I hear the word jigger, I think of that. Is that what it was?

Also called a shot or shot glass , a jigger is a small drinking glass-shaped container that usually holds about 1 1/2 ounces, but can also be a 1- or 2-ounce size. It's generally used to measure liquor.

The term is also used to describe the quantity of liquid such a measure holds, as in "a jigger of whiskey." Also may be called a PONY or a SHOT.
From the word SHOT we have the term SHOOTERS.
