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.

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.

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.
