The Damn the Weather cocktail is a prohibition-era cocktail made with Gin, sweet vermouth, orange juice and a sweetener (either Triple Sec. or Curaçau). It is served shaken and chilled, often with a slice of orangeor other citrus fruit. 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.
