The Harbor Breeze is a specialty drink made at the Pavilion Bar at The Market Hotel in Charleston, South Carolina. This rooftop bar offers a panoramic view of the Charleston Harbor, the Cooper River and, in the distance, historic Fort Sumter. This drink is a delicate blend of citrus fruit that is as memorable on the palate as the harbor view.

½ oz. Triple Sec
2 oz. Orange Juice
1 oz. Lemon Juice
1 oz. Lime Juice
1 oz. Pineapple Juice
1 oz. Simple Syrup

In an ice-filled pint glass, combine the Midori and Triple Sec, then add all of the remaining ingredients and stir.

On January 30,1969 The Beatles preformed their final live performance on the rooftop of the Apple building at 3 Savile Row, London. Most of the performance was filmed and later included in the film Let It Be. The original concept for the film project called for the documentary to end with a live show, the first live public performance by the band since the end of their last tour, on August 29, 1966, at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. However, agreeing on a format for the live show proved problematic. After failing to agree on any other venue, the band settled for an unannounced concert atop their own building. The imprompt to show was accompanied by Billy Preston, the true 5th Beatle.

The Beatles played five songs during the rooftop performance: “Get Back” (three times), “Don’t Let Me Down” (twice), “I’ve Got a Feeling” (twice), “One After 909″, and “Dig a Pony”. While the band was playing, the local police were called because of complaints about the noise. Although the group was simply asked to end their performance, the band members later remarked that they were disappointed they were not arrested, pointing out that the police hauling the band members off in handcuffs would have been “an appropriate ending” for the film.

After the final song, McCartney is heard to say, “Thanks, Mo!” acknowledging the enthusiastic applause and cheering from Maureen Starkey, Ringo’s wife. Then Lennon closes with the well-known remark, “I’d like to say ‘thank you’ on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we passed the audition!” This exchange was spliced on to the end of the Let It Be album.

Not quite a Vodkatini, but close. This is a hot and savory drink. Red chilies are a favorite here in New Mexico in almost everything. The state’s vegetable is the chili pepper and this goes along with the state question, “Red or Green?” This recipe proves chilies aren’t just for eating anymore.

Chili peppers have been a part of the human diet in the Americas since at least 7500 BC and perhaps earlier. There is archaeological evidence at sites located in southwestern Ecuador that chili peppers were already well domesticated more than 6000 years ago, and is one of the first cultivated crops in the Americas. Chili peppers are thought to have been domesticated at least five times by prehistoric peoples in different parts of South and North America, from Peru in the south to Mexico in the north and parts of Colorado and New Mexico by Ancient Pueblo People.

Chili Vodkatini
1 oz. Pepper or Chili Vodka
1 tsp. Dry French Vermouth
1 Small pickled or vodka-soaked chili
1 pitted green olive

Add the chili or pepper vodka to a bar glass of ice and mix for about 30 seconds, until the outside of the glass has frosted over. Add the vermouth to a chilled martini glass, swirl it around to wet the inside of the glass, and then add the vodka. Cut one of the chilies in half and discard the seeds. Thread it through the pitted olive and spear it with a cocktail stick.
