Me...I am drinking straight up sink water.

I am drinking an Old Tom gin martini. Old Tom is a gin which has been reconstructed from an 1800's recipe. Allegedly, it is the gin that the original martini is made from. The recipe for an OT martini is: 4 parts Old Tom, 1/2 part white (dry) vermouth, 1/2 part red (sweet) vermouth, and a twist of lemon peel.
Okay, truthfully, I didn't have a lemon lying around, so I used a twist of orange peel. Lemon is better.
Shaken, not stirred.
Bond. Harmon Bond.
