It's pretty good as is, but for me it's a bit too overpowered with Chartreuse and Maraschino.
I like this better:
1.5 oz Irish whiskey
0.5 oz Green Chartreuse
0.5 oz Maraschino Liquor
0.5 oz Lime juice.

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.

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

I always thought a French 75 had cognac... who knew that was a '125'?
Anyway, I up the cognac and champagne to better balance the lemon, and use maple syrup instead of sugar. It doesn’t taste like maple in the drink, but adds a subtle note.
2 oz cognac, 3 oz champagne, 1/2 oz maple syrup, 1/2 oz lemon juice. Garnish with lemon twist.
