Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster by TheGrimSpectre

The Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster is an alcoholic beverage invented by the infamous Zaphod Beeblebrox. Throughout the Milky Way galaxy it is widely regarded as the best drink in existence and the effect of drinking it is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick. Multiple voluntary organizations are available to help first-time drinkers of the Gargle Blaster recuperate.

A number of environmental and weapons treaties, as well as laws of physics, so far prevent it from being mixed on planets such as Earth; but this has not stopped a variety of shoddy imitations from springing up. The original and best recipe, however, is as follows:

Take the juice from one bottle of the Ol’ Janx Spirit.

Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V – oh, that Santraginean seawater. Oh, those Santraginean fish!

Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzine is lost).

Allow four liters of Fallian marsh gas to bubble through it, in memory of all those happy hikers who have died of pleasure in the Marshes of Fallia.

Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qualactin Hypermint extract, redolent of all the heady odors of the dark Qualactin Zones, subtle, sweet, and mystic.

Drop in the tooth of an Algolian Suntiger. Watch it dissolve, spreading the fires of the Algolian suns deep into the heart of the drink.

Sprinkle Zamphour.

Add an olive.

Drink… but… very carefully…
