PBI stands for Polish Breeze Index - similar to the Big Mac Index.

A Polish Breeze consists of:

• 1.5 shots of vodka
• .5 shot of archers
• .5 shot of grenadine
• .5 shot of blue curaco
• Topped up with coke (half coke, half of what's above)

(It tastes a little like Calpol - it's really nice, really potent)

The interesting things about it are:

• It's a custom cocktail. You'll have to ask for it specially (although most bartenders will be obliging)
• It's got 2.5 shots of alcohol in. This will often make it more expensive than a standard cocktail might be.

It's a good measure of how much the bar is stinging you for cash - two PBIs, for example, are:

• Merton's Bar And Grill - 10.25 (TEN TWENTY FIVE)
• The Beat Café - 4.00
