The recipe for the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is the second-most-popular entry in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, falling behind only "Towel, Suggested Usage of". The preferred (i.e. Guide-endorsed) recipe is as follows:
1) Take the juice from one bottle of Ol' Janx Spirit. 2) Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V — Oh, that Santraginean seawater! Oh, those Santraginean fish! 3) Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzine is lost). 4) Allow four litres 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. 5) Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qualactin Hypermint extract, redolent of all the heady odours of the dark Qualactin Zones, subtle, sweet and mystic. 6) 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. 7) Sprinkle Zamphuor. 8) Add an olive. 9) Drink... but... very carefully...
As it seems that we may be situated in a continuum in which certain of these ingredients (or possibly all, save perhaps the Ol' Janx Spirit and the olive) are unavailable, a substitute recipe may be required. Mixers should be guided by and should attempt to recreate the experience of drinking a genuine Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, described most often as "Having your brains smashed in by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick."
As we become more familiar with the present hyperspatial vicinity, we will of course seek to develop a locally-relevant database for any hitchhikers who might find this useful enough to purchase a copy of the Guide.
(The editors would also like to note, given your reactions to previous queries and in the interests of a possible future franchise deal, that a pre-interstellar-travel society has on more than one occasion proven a valuable power base for interstellar conquest. See, most notably, the history of the Krikkit Wars.)
