I prefer Tanqeray for gin and tonic, because of the citrusy notes it already possesses (as uni noted).

I really like Sapphire for martinis.

And I have LONG been a proponent that vermouth has a place in a martini. Though of course you don't want too much, things like waving the cork over the glass or tipping the shaker in the direction of France are just stupid.

Heard a story once about a bartender whose client always complained of too much vermouth...even when all he served him was stirred gin with an olive in it.

A martini isn't a test of your manhood...it's just a good drink. When made right, it should be strong, but incredibly smooth going down.
