anyone know the ingrediants to the pan galactic gargle blaster?

[BadBob]

Can't remember if it actually says but its compared to a gin and tonic wrapped around a brick.

It's effects are compared to having your brains smashed out with a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick. So lemon and gold in there somewhere

It would take far too long to collect all the exotic stuff in one human lifespan so here is an approved (by H2G2 fans) terran substitute:

1 oz. EverClear

4 oz. Bombay Sapphire or Jeremiah Weed

4 oz. Cold Wild Turkey

2 oz. Herredura Tequila

5 oz. Rum

1 Worm from bottle of Mezcla

2 oz. Gatorade (or similar) Drink and enjoy, not forgetting to keep a close eye on you towel the whole time while you blissfully drift off to oblivion of ZZ9 Plural Zed Alpha sector whichever has the greater level of improbability.

and here's the mixing method:

To make a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster using Terran ingredients:

Take the liquid contained in a 200 ml bottle of EverClear to remind you that your head will be clear forever if you drink too many Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters, and that your brain will clear of anything soon after you start drinking some, if not before.

Into it, slowly pour a 750 ml bottle of Bombay Sapphire to remind you of the marvelous beauty of the old Santraginean seas, or an equal amount of Jeremiah Weed in acknowledgement of what has happened to the Santraginean Seas and their lifeforms.

Now add 750 ml of Cold Wild Turkey, letting it run into the mixture as we run through life to remind us of all the lifeforms we meet and experience while hitchhiking through the galaxy.

Speedily stirring, add 375 ml of Herradua Tequila, mixing it in to commemorate the galactic hitchhikers who died of pleasure among the vapors and gasses in the marshes of Fallia.

Over the bowl of a silver spoon, let flow 1 liter of rum in memory of the waterfalls and their glorious rainbows encountered on your journeys through the galaxy of life.

Next, drop in the worm found in a bottle of Musquil, watching it dissolve into the mixture. If the bottom falls out and the worm survives, drink at your own risk.

Finally, sprinkle into the mixture some Gatorade to commemorate the lifeforms which have vanished and are becoming extinct, both sentient and non-sentient, especially those most in need of aid.

This makes one approximately 18 ounce Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. The reason this drink seems so large is that Zaphod Beeblebrox has two heads, so when he created it, it came out to 9 ounces per head, so both were happy.

Before drinking, eat one olive to create a sweetness in it which is not there.

There is a recipe in the first novel, there are searchable texts online if you look for them. But Douglas Adams used to answer fans who asked this by recommending that they buy up the contents of their local off-licence and re-distill them a few times. The result is not quite the same as a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, but the effects are strangely similar.

OK another question - could someone tell me what any of those ingredients are? The only one I've heard of is "rum". "Gatorade" sounds like it's pur�ed aligators.

Gatorade is a drink our cousins over the pond are fond of....I believe it comes in a powdered form and is stirred into water to make it up....Have no idea where the name comes from or what the taste is like.
