A Damn the Weather (or Damn-the-Weather) is a Prohibition Era cocktail made with Gin, sweet vermouth, orange juice, and a sweetener (either Triple Sec or Curaçao). It is served shaken and chilled, often with a slice of orange.
History
Like many prohibition-era cocktails, the Damn the Weather was conceived as a way to hide the scent and flavor of poor quality homemade spirits, in this case bathtub gin.[1] The original recipe was included in Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book.[1] A bar/restaurant in Seattle takes its name from the drink.[1]
Variations
- The Despite the Weather cocktail is made with shochu, pisco, orange juice, lemon, passion fruit, and ginger syrup.[1]
- The drink may be served over ice in a short glass.[2]
- Grand Marnier or Cointreau may be substituted for the sweetener.[3]
