As close as I can get to the 1000 Cranes cocktail.
2 oz of a mix containing Ichiko Saiten that had sliced cucumber sitting in it for 4 hours, some Midori, some Mastica, some St. Germain.
3/4 oz lime juice (had no lemons)
One teaspoon lime leaf simple (complicated?) syrup
One teaspoon orange syrup.
Shaken, topped with fever tree yuzu lime soda.

1000 subs and yet a strange lack of cocks and tails on this sub. Things that make you go hmmm.
Absolutely amazing! I’ll have to post up the Mezcal plane (paper plane with Mezcal, needs a better name???) that I had a subscriber here recommend.

Aeromexico? You could try 3 different kinds of mescaline with them and call them Aeromexico flights.

If you have a lime tree, I do recommend the lime leaf syrup. Basically just a very sweetened infusion. It really is different from one made with the zest, more herbal, and I don't have a specialty tree (kaffir lime), these were leaves from a dwarf Persian lime tree. The green fresh citrus flavor was a good substitute for the lemon verbena syrup.

I've been considering lime / lemon trees as I get more into this hobby. How hard are they to maintain?

Easy here (Florida) and the dwarf trees can grow in a pot so even if you are somewhere cold it's possible. Main problem in Florida is diseases - trees to grow here must come from nearby and be clean of citrus greening.
My lime tree made it 2 years in a pot before I planted it into the ground. Used "citrus spikes" to fertilize it, it did make plenty of fruit in season.
I would say easy compared to most fruit trees.
Learning to make super juice helps too - if you are having a party you can just leave that out and it tastes fresh all night.
