Paul Child's original recipe, for one cocktail, started out simply: "Make a Martini."

Ingredients

　　1 teaspoon dry vermouth

　　2 teaspoons juice from a jar of maraschino cherries

　　2 maraschino cherries, stemmed

　　Shake gin and vermouth with ice cubes in a cocktail shaker to chill quickly, then strain into 2 Martini glasses. Stir 1 teaspoon cherry juice into each drink and add cherries.
