The best drink in existence, from "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
An intricate and dangerous cocktail, invented by Zaphod Beeblebrox.
Purported to make you feel like "having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick".
Ingredients
- Old Janx Spirit (1 bottle)
- Sea water from Santraginus V (1 measure)
- Acturan Mega-gin cubes (3 cubes)
- Fallian marsh gas (4 liters)
- Qualactin Hypermint extract (1 teaspoon)
- Angolian Suntiger tooth
- Zamphuor
- Olive (1 oliv)
Recipe instructions (taken from the book)
- Take the juice from one bottle of Ol' Janx Spirit.
- Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V — Oh, that Santraginean seawater! Oh, those
Santraginean fish!
- Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzene is lost).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Sprinkle Zamphuor.
- Add an olive.
- Drink... but... very carefully...
