<\/div>\n

My mother is coming to town in a few weeks, and it will be one of her first winter visits in probably more than a decade. She\u2019s a Detroit girl, so she\u2019s had her fill of the cold months and lives in warmer climates now.<\/p>\n

So in my prep for her visit, I\u2019ve been trying to hit some of the Snowmass establishments that I haven\u2019t been into since moving to the Village two years ago.<\/p>\n

Mom still entertains a drink, but she\u2019s not a drinker, so that\u2019s not a big thing. But she does appreciate a good dessert and a cup of coffee. To wit, a recent stop at the Little Mammoth Steakhouse on the upper floor of the Snowmass Mall proved fruitful for all three.<\/p>\n

With a cocktail menu that included a hickory smoke-infused old fashioned starring Woody Creek rye and a couple of nice options for margaritas, what grabbed my attention on the mom radar was the Tiramisu Martini. Intriguing and has the words \u201cchocolate\u201d and \u201cKahlua\u201d in there.<\/p>\n

From the Hersey\u2019s syrup drizzled inside the martini glass to the nice cream foam on the top, the drink is a smooth, flavorful and pretty close to a perfect dessert drink.<\/p>\n

A photo of a Tennessee state representative went viral earlier this month when he was shown using a Hersey chocolate syrup bottle as a water bottle because he \u201crecycles everything.\u201d I too have drank straight out of a Hersey\u2019s chocolate syrup bottle, and usually it includes an almond milk chaser (yes, also straight out of the carton \u2014 sorry, Mom), but it was in the 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. range.<\/p>\n

Watching Jose put together the cocktails behind the small but comfortable Little Mammoth bar with a nice low-key vibe was as relaxing as sipping on the drink.<\/p>\n

Before drizzling the inside of the glass with that sweet syrup, in the shaker Jose started with Absolute vanilla vodka and added our old coffee-booster friends Kahlua and Bailey\u2019s Irish Cream. Those are such enjoyable liqueurs with coffee on their own, so as a group it was quiet the party.<\/p>\n

With a fresh shot of espresso and then a bit more regular cream, the drink really came together. Something I will for sure be ordering again after a steak or just as an entree or a dessert.<\/p>\n

The only problem with this drink is that it\u2019s served in a martini glass \u2014 it should be served in a double-wide coffee mug.<\/p>\n
