They call this drink a John Wayne. It is a shot of expresso, with a touch of vanilla syrup and marked with half-and-half or, preferably, cream. Since vanilla is not my favorite syrup in coffee, I tweaked it a bit and made it half vanilla and half almond. Seemed to do the trick. So, yes some days I start off with a shot. And, I see that today is Hump-Day, so by noon most of society will be half-way done with their work week. For me it’s the first day of my two day weekend. Maybe, I’ll make it a double and have two shots. 🙂 Have a great Wednesday!

Well, as your having the first day of a two day mid-week weekend I think you ought to have as many shots as you’d like — but I’m not sure why they’d call this a John Wayne. 😉

I think you’re right, the Duke would probably not be drinking one of these. 🙂

Be careful. Keep that up and you might end up doing something you’ll really regret, like posting to your blog on Saturday mornings or something…

Way too funny, Paul. Heck, maybe I’d post twice on Saturdays and neither of them making any sense.

That looks like a great way to start a day, a lovely Monte coffee shot 🙂 Thanks!

And here I thought it was a Guinness at first 😉 Oh well, espresso with vanilla, almond, and cream sounds pretty delish….mmmm

Don’t take my word for it, take the hubby and try one.
