The Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster was invented by Zaphod Beeblebrox, a major character in Douglas Adams' novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster has also been described in the novel as the alcoholic equivalent to a mugging; expensive and bad for the head. Its original, fictional recipe, is as follows:
RecipeRecipe published in Mostly Harmless
Because of the popularity of the Hitchhiker's Guideseries, several recipes exist for "Earth versions" of the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. The following is but one version, published in "Mostly Harmless", the newsletter of ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha, the official Hitchhiker's Guide appreciation society.
To make a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster using Terran ingredients:Take the liquid contained in a 200 ml (6.75 oz) 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 (25 oz) 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 (25 oz) 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 (12.7 oz) of Herradura 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 litre (34 oz) 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.
If this many Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters are too many for the number of people you think you are, mix together the following amounts of ingredients as described above for a single serving.
Recipe from Project Galactic Guide
Another recipe posted online calls for:
This makes one approximately 18 ounce (0,5 l) 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 (2,5 dl) per head, so both were happy.
Before drinking, eat one olive to create a sweetness in it which is not there. Drink extremely carefully at your own risk, and remember where your towel is (if you can).

Yet another recipe, found online: Ingredients:
Method Pour the Tia maria, vodka and cherry brandy together into a pint glass. Add a dash of lime juice. Fill with equal amounts of dry cider and 7-up, and add ice cubes. Suggested serving: beer glass.
Recipe number four
Another recipe:
Recipe number five
Recipe number six
Another recipe: • 1 part Everclear (or any other strong grain alcohol such as Bourbon, Moonshine, or Vodka) • 1 part Bitter Lemon (or plain Tonic Water) • 1 part Bombay Sapphire Gin (or other gin) • 1 part Yukon Jack Perma-Frost Schnapps (or other mint schnapps, or white crème de menthe) • Enough blue food coloring to make the mixture a very light sky blue
Also needed: • Sugar cubes • Cinnamon extract • Yellow food coloring (optional) • Angostura Bitters • Olives
Mix the first five ingredients and chill (usually for 24 hours). Then, take a sugar cube and let it absorb 1 milliliter of cinnamon extract and 1 drop of yellow food coloring (optional). Place three ice cubes in a glass and pour the chilled liquid mixture over these. Drop in the sugar cube and stir to dissolve, or just let it sit (if food coloring is used, often the sugar cube is just left to sit, to create a layering effect with the color). Sprinkle the Angostura Bitters in the drink, and add an olive. Drink, but very carefully.
Alternatively, one can let the sugar cube absorb 1 milliliter of Angostura Bitters, and sprinkle ground cinnamon on the top of the drink, thus omitting the cinnamon extract.
It is often more convenient to make a large amount of the mixture ahead of time and chill for a day, rather than to constantly mix more of it. It's also best to save it for a special occasion, such as Towel Day due to the work put into making the drink.
Recipe from The Bartender's Best Friend
The Bartender's Best Friend also has a recipe for the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster as follows:
Build in an ice-filled Collins glass, filling it with the soda. Stir with a long straw.
Fan Modified Shooter Version:
Pour ingredients into a shaker 2/3 of ice. Shake well. Strain into a stem-less cocktail glass. Top with one large ice cube.

WARNING: Drinking Pan Galctic Gargle Blasters may cause serious damage to the rods and cones in the human eye, thus explaining why consumers of this beverage have often reported it to be green in color when, in fact, it is not.
AvailabilityA Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster may be had at the Zaphod Beeblebrox bar in Ottawa, ON (Canada), and in Spiders gothic nightclub in Hull, UK (recipe mentioned above), and also at the Black Spot Cafe Bar in Hyannis, Ma, USA. Other bars may be able to mix any of the recipes above (or one of their own). Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters were also served at a couple of the stage show adaptations of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in the late 1970s, according to Neil Gaiman in his book Don't Panic: The Official Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Companion.NOTE: This answer was taken from wikibooks. I just thought that it would serve the people of wikianswers very very well.

pan-galatic gargle blaster
In order of mention: -Water -The Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster (the best known drink in the universe - drinking one is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick) -Beer -A drink produced by the Nutri-matic that is entirely unlike tea -Tea -Wine -Jynnan Tonnyx -A glass of water containing a deceased baby Kakrafoonian sea-dragon (they only live for four seconds upon hatching, after which their soul is released into the drink)
There were many drinks in The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, and other books by Douglas Adams, but the one you're thinking of is probably the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.It probably isn't but might be another drink called jynnan tonix, chinan/ton/nickx, gin and tonic, and other spelling variations of gin and tonic, which was apparently invented by all civilizations BEFORE they made contact with others, but similar in name as they may be, they are quite different in taste and effect, from water heated slightly over room temperature to our gin and tonic.However the answer you're probably looking for is the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.PAN GALACTIC GARGLE BLASTER.Perhaps you are referring to the substance which is almost but not quite, entirely UNLIKE tea?
No because pi is a ratio. Exactly. You could measure it in Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters and it would still have the same value. JHC!
First you have to get your hands on a spaceship with hyper-drive. Then you have to take all the driving tests in the galaxy, (this is estimated to take you twenty years at the moment, but new tests are being added daily). Done that, boy you must be thirsty. Right, armed with your copy of the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and a babel fish you can now assemble all the ingredients, (estimated to take 250 years). Why not say Stuff this, I'm off to the off-licence instead. Since the Pangalactic gargle blaster is a drink just tell everyone you have the required driving tests then mix the drink anyway.

Ammonia is poisonous; don't gargle with it.
