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The Last Word meets the Corpse Reviver in this floral cocktail, originally made with London dry gin, but is better with old tom gin

I've just tried with both, and lemon amplifies the elderflower, but with lime, it's perhaps better balanced. 50:50 of both juices is best!

I've noted that with the effects on citrus on elderflower liqueurs where lemon brings out a floral element and lime brings out more a grapefruit one. There's a lot going in St. Germain.
