D'Artagnan

Chill a cocktail coupe by filling it with ice water and setting it aside.

In a cocktail shaker, combine the Armagnac, Madeira, freshly squeezed lime juice, and maple syrup.

If desired, add a dash of bitters to the mixture.

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well chilled.

Discard the ice water from the coupe and strain the cocktail into the glass.

Serve and enjoy your expertly crafted D'Artagnan.
