gargleblaster recipe

The Pan Galactic Gargleblaster, the drink that has the effect of being hit in the head by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick, is not for the faint of heart, nor for those with a functioning sense of self-preservation. The concoction's recipe is said to have been devised by Zaphod Beeblebrox, the semi-cousin of Ford Prefect (who's no stranger to odd drinks himself). A proper Gargleblaster mixes together highly potent ingredients which are generally considered to be one part liquid, two parts volatile chemical, and three parts fun to explain to the local planetary health inspector.

Travel Advice

To survive the experience, it's best to have your next-of-kin's contact information updated and perhaps a will prepared. On no account should you operate heavy machinery, sign legal documents, or attempt to recite Vogon poetry after consumption.

Where to Find

The best (and possibly only) place to enjoy a true Pan Galactic Gargleblaster is at Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Bring your own time machine, as they tend not to lend theirs out, for reasons that involve causality and somewhat irate past versions of yourself.

What to Avoid

Avoid making your Gargleblaster with anything less than Ol' Janx Spirit. Substitutes, including but not limited to engine coolant, antimatter shakes, and water (especially from the seas of Santraginus V), have been proven to be either underwhelming or excessively explosive.

Fun Fact

The Ol' Janx Spirit is rumored to be harvested from the post-party floor of the universe's most outrageous shindigs. Legend has it that if you listen closely to a bottle, you can hear the faint echoes of cosmic karaoke.
