Christmas in Australia can be a scorcher, then again, the weather can quickly turn and storm clouds roll in. The Aussie Summer Storm is a take on the classic Dark n Stormy using Substation No. 41 rum from Queensland. We used CAPI Flamin’ Ginger Beer to give it an extra kick of ginger, spice and chilli.
