1 1/2 ounces freshly squeezed grapefruit juice (from 1/2 of a large grapefruit)
1 ounce gin
1 dash maraschino liqueur, preferably Luxardo
1 maraschino cherry, for garnish

Directions:

Fill a mixing glass two-thirds full with ice, then add the grapefruit juice, gin and dash of maraschino liqueur. Stir vigorously and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with the cherry.
