Dan's espresso martini recipe

This is my espresso martini recipe.


  • 1 oz cold espresso
  • 1 1/2 oz vodka

  • 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.

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 ...

PREMISE : Everything should be able to be questioned.  If it doesn't hold up to scrutiny it should be considered theoretical at best. i.e. You should be able to question 2+2= 5 and adhere to the rules below. Even the most volatile topics can be discussed with civility if  followed properly.   Dancratic method is a specific application of Socratic method.  Instead of a group discussion lead by a teacher or leader, these rules can facilitate 1 on 1 conversation for productive truth seeking.  There is no persuasive element to Dancratic rules.   GOAL : The goal is learning something new.  Perhaps understanding a different perspective a little more.  There is no winning, and no losing unless you break a rule- then everyone loses...
