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The Last Word meets the Corpse Reviver in this floral cocktail, originally made with London dry gin, but is better with old tom gin

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

Looks great. A new combo of ingredients. Thanks for sharing.

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.
