Margarita on-the-rocks (Difford's recipe)
This is how I like my Margaritas, tequila-forward, with tangy citrus, a hint of balancing sweetness and a faint salty undertone

Great margarita recipe - going to be my go-to. But a question for the community - does anyone have a trick for measuring a small amount of agave syrup? Even if I measure the syrup into another ingredient already in the jigger, a significant amount ends up sticking to the sides of the measure.

I just use measuring spoons. This is all you need to know and you can convert any fraction of an ounce:
1 ounce = 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons
So 1/6 of an ounce is 1 teaspoon.
1 ounce = 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons
So 1/6 of an ounce is 1 teaspoon.

This is where the metric system really comes into its own! Also be aware that different countries define tablespoons differently, e.g. can be 15 or 20 ml.

I just put it first and let all other ingredients try and "rinse" it with them. It works.

use an ordinary kitchen stainless steel measuring spoon. Slides right off with a little encouragement from a little finger or mini spatula, and rinses easily. I also use a 1.25ml one in the same set for measuring dashes or absinthe or similar. Seems to prevent overpour.

I use a 2.5ml disposable plastic pipet.

1/6 oz = 1 tsp
I think that's a lot, I use 1/2 tsp.
