Scotch whisky and crème de menthe stirred over ice with dark tea, strained and garnished with a mint sprig. The tea adds tannin and earthiness to the Scotch while the crème de menthe provides a cool counterpoint. An unusual combination that reads like a bartender's experiment but drinks like it was planned all along.
