Restaurants often serve tiramisu in a glass, but not exactly the way Anton & Michel serves it. The popular downtown Carmel restaurant delights its customers with a Tiramisu Martini, with four liquors and a rim dusting of crushed Oreo cookies. Anton & Michel General Manager Bert Simpson invented the drink, and calls it a "liquid dessert" that will make people forgot about the Brandy Alexander (Cognac, fresh cream, crème de cacao). "It tastes just like tiramisu," Simpson says. "It's a chilly treat on a hot day." —Larry Harland P R E PA R AT I O N : In shaker, pour equal parts of each ingredient over ice and shake. Strain into martini glass rimmed with crushed Oreo cookies. I N G R E D I E N T S : • Van Gogh Double Espresso Vodka • Butterscotch Schnapps • Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur • Bailey's Irish Cream
