Correct way to add centered point in text mode

I’m trying to learn more about LaTeX formatting and I’m getting really OCD about the proper format to use in each situation. Something that I use a lot in my writing is the middot, cdot, interpunct or whatever you want to call it. I’m talking about this symbol ·

Right now I’m using the inline math mode

Methanol $cdots$ Ethanol

I’m sure that is a correct way to do this using only textmode. Any idea how?
