The Right Word strikes a precise balance between floral sweetness and citrus bite, with elderflower and Lillet providing a honeyed, aromatic backbone that gin's botanicals sharpen into focus. The lime juice pulls everything taut, preventing the drink from tipping into cloying territory. It's bright, approachable, and drinks lighter than its equal-parts construction might suggest.
