As many of my friends know (because I have been endlessly complaining) I have just finished a Koine Greek intensive class. While studying the verb endings MAI, SAI and TAI my class began to joke about the need for rum drinks to get us through the lesson. I volunteered to have the entire class over for Mai Tais and on the last day of class we celebrated with a Big Fat Greek Drinking Party. The following recipes are the Koine Greek inspired cocktails that I created and served to my weary classmates.
