Crazy about Gin

The following 3 ingredients go well with gin and form the basis of many cocktails:

Vermouth, Italian or French, of which the aroma's and the softness make the Gin more 'round'. The result depends on the ratio: the dry Gin should not dominate the special characteristics of the vermouth. Vermouth Dry, the most bitter, can make some interesting creations.
Lemon is virtually indispencible, because the sourness of the lemon amplifies de aroma's of the gin. Sometimes it's enough to squeeze a piece of lemon skin over the glass.
Orange, in juice or liqueur form, also combines well with Gin.
