* 1.5 shots of Vodka (used to use Zubrowka, hence the 'Polish' part of the name - but you can't taste the vodka anyway, so go for something cheaper)

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)
