Pete Hegseth Uranium Cocktail Idea Sparks Controversy
In a surprising reflection after a long day at the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth sparked controversy by floating the idea of a Pete Hegseth uranium cocktail. The Defense Secretary reportedly pondered if uranium might work as a unique mixer for gin.
“I feel uranium could highlight the chemical notes of gin in an unexpected but bold way,” Hegseth allegedly said. However, he acknowledged that uranium’s extreme density would make it hard to blend evenly with alcohol. “I hate when mixers separate. My thorium mai tai last week was a disaster because of that.”
Despite concerns, Hegseth suggested that a uranium cocktail could stand out at parties due to its glowing appearance, especially under black light. He even floated a more daring concept: dropping a uranium shot glass into a pint of beer to create a bomb-style drink.
