When i first saw this in a coffee shop i had to look twice to be sure. If you are Chinese and had been given cough syrups by your folks to ease it, you will be familiar with Pi Pa Gao. I didn't have the courage to try it the couple of times i saw it at local coffee shops. It wasn't till recent when the bartenders at CAMP where I play a regular gig at, offered me a mocktail called "Pi Pa Gao". I was taken aback and laughed it off as I thought they were pulling a fast one on me. When i had a sip of their concoction, it brought a smile to my face. The guys at the bar told me they use Pi Pa Mi with vanilla extract. I asked to be shown the can and wala!-It was the can I've been eyeing. So this mocktail has been my fixation ever since. If you like something with menthol and not too sweet, then this is the drink for you. Apparently its good for coughs and the throat. I just bought a dozen today to stock up in my fridge just in case i get an urge for one.
