[This line included to impress Jody Foster.]
The results of the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster Survey (in which I asked
all to contribute their recipes for this legendary libation) were
somewhat underwhelming. The recipes I did get are below, and I thank
you all for your contributions. Several others suggested Long Island
Iced Tea (q.v.). Its not bad, but it took several of us two quarts of
vodka to decide that they just didn't have the whallop we were looking
for.

A friend of mine went to a con and came back with a terrestrial
recipe for the PGGB. I know that it includes gin, vodka,
orange curacao, some kind of English brandy (which we left out),
club soda, Everclear and food coloring to taste. It did indeed
raise one's scalp and put you in a sorry state for a couple of
days. I'll try to get the proportions from him as soon as he
wakes up (it's 9.00 am here). Stay tuned.
Share and Enjoy,

This recipe was developed by a friend of mine after taking a mixology
course; it has been served to happy hordes at a private party at the last three
Boskones. For two mild Pan-Galactic Gargleblasters, put over ice in shaker:
1.5 jiggers golden or dark rum (That Ol' Janx Spirit)
.5 jigger Amaretto and .5 triple sec or Curacao (Santraginean water?)
juice of 1/3 lemon
1.5 - 2 oz frozen orange juice concentrate
Shake, strain into glasses with fresh ice, add ginger ale or tonic to suit
(bubbled-through Fallian marsh gas). Add a thin wedge of lemon and float
a bit of blue Curacao over the top (Qalactin Hypermint Extract).
"Olive" is probably one of those flexible terms like "jinnan-tonyx";
if you must have something, use a brandied grape (fill a jar with fresh
white grapes; cover with 6 parts (or more) brandy to 1 part powdered
sugar; seal and leave for several weeks). I'm not sure what you'd use for
xamphuor, but everything else in this matches the recipe from the book.
We also call it a Jupiter sunrise when served \\very// quickly; otherwise
it turns a green color hideous enough to warn incautious drinkers.

Again, my thanks to all! I'll let you know if I remember how any of
