Dan's espresso martini recipe

This is my espresso martini recipe.


  • 1 oz cold espresso
  • 1 1/2 oz vodka
  • 1 1/2 oz Kahlua
  • 1 oz creme de cacao
I make the espresso fresh and let it cool for about 15 minutes.   After mixing, I pour it into a martini glass with crushed ice.   For ease, sometimes, I do one part of each ingredient and that works well too.

Smart light Switch = In my case, this is a wall light switch that has a radio that can be connected ted to a Hub for remote control or for programming on/off/dimmer based upon triggers. The protocol of the radio is z-wave in my case. Line = always hot wire - this is the source of current to the switch. Load =wire that goes to light out the other side of the switch and is only hot when the switch is turned on. Neutral =  White wire (in my house) that carries a current back to the source for the unbalanced portion of the load Ground wire = the wire that grounds the circuit. Note 2: I've only installed z-wave switches with a neutral ...
