Recreated - "Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster" from Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

MY AMAZON STORE: www.amazon.com...
The Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is considered by the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy to be the "best drink in existence". While almost impossible to make on planet Earth, I needed to see if its effects really are similar to "having your brains smashed in by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick."

Cocktail Chemistry I like you videos, but you should learn that ounces are imperial and mililiters are metric, not the other way around. Metric kicks imperials ass

[@oliverjane5035]

Millilitres are metric not Imperial you idiot

[@WadeWilson_]

Oliver Jane I know. That what I said. Read the comment again idiot

[@torysaccount5753]

Once my dad was in a bar and he ordered the pan galactic gargle blaster because he is a fan of the book, even though he didn't know what it was and there was no description on the menu. He ordered it, the bartender (probably new here) looked it up, looked very suprised and served him 1cl of every spirit available (mixed together). He had 300ml of I-dont-want-to-try-or-even-know

[@bobbybliss2372]

[@OG_Space_Viking]

After my ex asked for a divorce, my brother took me to a bar and announced to the bartender what had happened. He quickly made me a drink (that was similar to what you described) and placed it in front of me. I asked what it was, he replied "Adios Motherfucker"

I also think that rapid infusion doesn't even need cartridges. The pressure of pumping ambient air should be enough. Maybe a collaboration with a maker channel to outfit your Isi container with a connector for a hand-pump or electric pump is in order?

[@kmlkmljkl]

the cartridges are probably faster though.

i too want to make a pangalactic gargle blaster, and share it with my nerdy uncle and dad! remember the peanuts, the world is about to end. though, the pangalactic gargle blaster is just a pimped up ol' janx spirit, i look forward to have my head fly, my tongue lie, my eyes fry, and i may die.

[@maciejknap6284]

I am soooo happy that you add mililiteres! And the vid was great.

[@spaceinvad3rs]

Capitan Kaktus He made an error though, "for those under the imperial system, precisely 42mL". Ounces is the imperial system, everyone else is the metric system. :P

[@roxascloud101]

42 is just a book reference guys... you got bamboozled

[@Corners___]

roxascloud101 its not that its 42 and more that he called mL imperial

[@variastudios301]

I checked, even though the measurement itself is a reference to the series, it checks out, somehow

[@paullilley7795]

You probably won't see this since the video was posted so long ago, but just wanted to let you know that I just celebrated my 42nd birthday and used your recipe as inspiration to serve a pan galactic gargle blaster at my party. I did quite a bit of research and yours hit the right balance of true to the spirit of the book's recipe and actually tasting good (if a BIT strong). My only main modification was adding dry ice at the end and a more minor one was to mix the citric acid with edible silver dust (I wanted gold dust for the link to Heart of Gold, but couldn't find any locally). Thanks for your video and helping me celebrate in true HGTG style! Cheers!

[@99thTuesday]

Great video, maybe you should try to make the Nutri-Matic's 'almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea' tea

[@chrisvighagen]

[@artistwithouttalent]

99thTuesday Yeah, it'd help him sober up from the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.

[@johnnywins7031]

99thTuesday Why? It's described as quite unpleasant, or at least not worth drinking.

Country time powdered tea. Thats ur answer to what it would taste like. Not quite tea but sorta

Thank you for adding the metric measurements! This eases things a lot! And it's also great to see that at least some Americans acknowledge the existence of the metric system. It always seems to get lost somewhere. Anyway, great video! Fantastic attention to detail, and always entertaining. Keep up the great work! :)

This is probably one of the best videos I've seen in existence, from the humour and attention to detail, to the great cinematography and just plain awesomeness, thank you for making such great videos and I can't wait to see more 😁🥂🍹

This is the first time I've really thought I saw something that resembled the gargleblaster. This will be in my imagination everytime I reread the books now. GOOD SHOW!

I look forward to trying some other variations possibly double straining and then back to the infuser for slightly more effervescence fizz. Thanks for the video. Keep up the great work.

[@MattG-mw7zi]

I made this minus the fancy whipper tricks, I can absolutely testify to its effects.

[@timetuner]

I got into rapid infusions for a bit. It's a little bit tricky because you have to worry about how much space is left in the container when you pressurize it, how to prep the ingredients, and the timing of everything. I went through most of my canisters experimenting only to come to the conclusion that it only really makes sense for citrus peel, vegetables, and fruits when you can't just buy the juice. It'll do fresh herbs but you could just muddle those. Liquor pulls the essential oils out of fine citrus zest pretty fast on it's own too. When my friends burned through the last of my chargers trying to do whippits, I didn't see much reason to go out and buy more. If you want to be real classy though, try throwing cucumber slices in there with a finished cocktail. When you release the pressure they soak up whatever they're in.

[@thecampfire8840]

hah i just got back to this video and accidentally captions and when he "hit his head with a gold brick wrapped with a lemon peal" it said award winning acting

[@shaggycan]

I didn't go through all the comments but at the Zaphod Beeblebrox bar in Ottawa they made a PGGB. I can't remember the exact recipe but it was orange juice, jack Daniels, blue Curaçao and a couple other things. It was bright green and unexpectedly good.

[@Robertinchains24]

[@mircobiguzzi1084]

With homemade techniques You can infuse lemon zest even in 2 or 3 days to make a lemon liquor. Or if you are in a hurry in 30 minutes. Less you let it sit more flavors there will be. With weeks of infusion you may extract even some waxes that can be quite bitters.
