ASSENZIO: cos'è? È davvero PERICOLOSO?

In this episode, I'd like to tell you about a recent love affair of mine: a nearly forgotten drink, with a sad and troubled history, yet imbued with a rare fascination and ritual. I'm talking about Absinthe. The name alone evokes something forbidden, with a decadent and bohemian allure; and indeed, this drink has been the victim of an unfair reputation, if not a full-blown "witch hunt." Yet it was one of the most popular and beloved drinks of the nineteenth century, a kind of symbol of the Belle Époque, a muse for countless artists. In this episode, thanks also to the valuable collaboration of the Italian Association for the Protection of Absinthe (https://www.assenzioitalia.it), we'll discover more about this drink and whether it really is as dangerous as it's portrayed to be. ☟ SHOPPING TIPS (*) ☟ 🍾 La Fée Absinthe Parisienne (the most famous and widespread "surrogate"): https://amzn.to/3tDTNx7 🍾 Mansinthe (Authentic Swiss Absinthe): https://amzn.to/3tG8dwW 🍸Absinthe Glasses and Spoons: https://amzn.to/2XcxWBj ⛲Absinthe Fountain: https://amzn.to/3tEJfO9 📖 My "Manual of Classic Men's Elegance": https://amzn.to/3uaH7NI 📦 My Amazon "store": https://www.amazon.it/shop/douglasmor... 🎬 To SUBSCRIBE to the channel:    / @douglasmortimer74   🛒 Discover all the current PROMOTIONS here: https://www.douglasmortimer.it/promoz...
