Right Word
The Last Word meets the Corpse Reviver in this floral cocktail, originally made with London dry gin, but is better with old tom gin

Just made something similar with Beefeater and Cocchi Americano 'cause that's what I had; and a split of lemon/lime juice... was a tiny bit tart, you know one of those lemons you think you could get more juice out of a golf ball. Added eight drops Absinte and the bitter seemed to balance the sour better. Guess it's time to get another bottle of Old Tom. Excellent combination!

The Fairmont Hotel lists this as a lime juice drink: http://www.fairmontmoments.com/cocktails/menu/revivals/right-word

Made this with a 50:50 mix of lemon and lime juices per Difford's comment below and agree it's probably better than 100% of either. The mix plays well with Fiorente Elderflower. Used Bombay Sapphire London Dry per the Fairmont recipe though Old Tom would work, too, if you like it sweeter than we do. My big change was splitting the Lillet Blanc 50:50 with Luxardo Bitter Bianco to add a little bitterness and complexity. A bright, lively, citrusy drink that's distinct from either a Last Word or a Corpse Reviver.

Yes, we came up with a variant using mezcal/tequila and lime: https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/30855/free-argument
