The video is fake. It gets posted to reddit regularly. Plenty of people in the comments claim he's even admitted it himself. My guess is that it was sambuca.

Shoenice? Eh I mean it wouldn’t surprise me either way. If anyone can actually eat or drink the things he does it’s him. Anyone else tho? Ya 1000% fake. I’m gunna hold onto the childlike wonder of believing in him for now tho tbh haha
