Celebrate towel day with a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster

Today (25th May 2012) is a very special towel day, i.e. 25 + 5 + 12 = 42 (the answer to life, the universe and everything), so why not celebrate with a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, a cocktail invented by Zaphod Beeblebrox.

It is described as the alcoholic equivalent to a mugging, expensive and bad for the head, and its flavour is “Like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick.”

Official Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster Recipe

• Take the juice from 1 bottle of that Ol’ Janx Spirit.
• Pour into it 1 measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V.
• Allow 3 cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzene is lost).

• Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qalactin Hypermint extract.
• Drop in the tooth of an Algolian Suntiger.
• Sprinkle Zamphuor.
