YouTube has emerged to one of the biggest Social Media platforms. Everyday thousands of hours of video are uploaded and of course videos related to Absinthe also take a tiny part in that. However, there are very different type of videos.
Some videos are not really related to Absinthe too much, and others are packed with information about your favorite alcoholic beverage. You will also find lots of Absinthe cocktail recipes, which we can only recommend you to check out.
However, we picked out two Absinthe Videos on YouTube that we found especially well done. They also represent the two types of videos of Absinthe on YouTube that you will typically find.
Absinthe on YouTube: Informational
First, we want to show you this wide-spread video. It is a documentary about the history of Absinthe, featuring Mr. Ted Breaux, an American Absinthe expert, who produces as well the famous Jade Absinthes. The content of the video is informative and true. It does not focus on the “drug” connotation, instead it mentions facts about Absinthes history and uncovers most common myths, that still spread around our favorite spirit. Take a look, learn and spread the true word of the Green Fairy!
Absinthe on YouTube: Freakishly Funny?
Well, we have as well a video for you, which is quite something. According to the comments, it is a suicide attempt. However, we are not sure if that is even enough to say, because he attempts to eat 100 ghost peppers, which is the hottest pepper. That is not where it ends, though. We’re not going to spoil what happens, but after that he does attempt to drink a bottle of artificially colored Absinth at 89,9% proof. Crazy right? Watch it yourself…!
We hope you enjoyed this post. If you know about other “worth to share” Absinthe videos, let us know. You can do this here in our Absinthe Blog comment section or you get part of our Absintheur community at Facebook and post it there!
