I absolutely loved this book! So many cool drinks with awesome names. Not only that but T-Pain has written some of the blurbs and they are laugh out loud funny. Definitely getting a hard copy for my shelf!
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review.

If you weren’t a T-Pain fan before this book (you are crazy) you will be after reading this. The recipes are awesome (and all named after his songs) but are second to all of T-Pain’s comments and his introduction. I want to be friends with him after reading this. And I need to find the store he found his Fancy cup from in ATL. Lol

If you want to both learn how to mix some of the best drinks ever and also laugh while learning let this book be your guide. Be careful though because once you see the gorgeous photos of the drinks you will want to make all of the recipes at once!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review an advanced reader's copy of this book. This in no way affects my review, all opinions are my own.

As a graduate of Florida State University, located in Tallahassee, FL, and a former resident of Atlanta, I'm incredibly familiar with T-Pain. My boyfriend became very interested in craft cocktails at the onset of the pandemic and has since become an amateur mixologist. Knowing this, I was super excited to dive into this book and see what sorts of drinks T-Pain is mixing up. The book itself is beautifully illustrated, the drinks are named after his hit songs, and there are humorous anecdotes mixed between the recipes. The drinks themselves look—and taste—delicious, though many of the ingredients featured in his cocktails aren't always the most accessible. There are some creative variations on classic cocktails that everyone will recognize, along with some newer creations I'm excited to try.

Can I Mix You a Drink? is a collection of drink recipes based on a collaboration between T-Pain and mixologist Maxwell Britten. All cocktails are named after T-Pain's songs and created with each song in mind.

Can I Mix You a Drink? is an impressive collection of cocktails. The entire book is beautifully illustrated and this adds to the appeal of the drinks. I love the concept of having the drinks named after T-Pain's songs, and also found the additional commentary interesting and humorous. These drinks look like a delicious and dangerous way to spend an evening, with the distinct possibility of hangovers, bad decisions, and funny stories for the next day.....which seems to be right on point for this book. T-Pain fans and cocktail enthusiasts should pick up a copy of Can I Mix You a Drink?

Thanks to Netgalley and Kingston Imperial for this ARC; this is my honest and voluntary review.

I really like the worldbuilding, and how the author can create a world that has the capability of making us vicariously live through it. I feel like the introduction was a bit too slow-paced for me. The characters are fairly interesting.
Henceforth, it was quite a good read.

Thank you Imperial Publishing & Netgalley for the electronic advanced reader’s copy.

T-Pain’s music was front for most social gatherings throughout my life. When I saw he had written a book, I knew I had to read it. When I saw it written a cocktail book I knew that me and every single one of my friends also needed to read it. While many of the liqueurs are incredibly specialized, I appreciate that he listed brand names whenever possible so I don’t look like an absolute fool heading into the liquor store. I’m really excited to give many of these cocktails a try.

I can't read this book because I don't have an app to read it on. It looks really interesting though, and I hope it's a good book.

Growing up a T-Pain fan and now working in a bar as an adult, this book was a perfect match for me.

Unlike most other cookbooks, there wasn't a huge story lead up into the cocktail recipes ... he just gets straight to the point; adding little "pro tips" along the way.

The cocktails seemed delicious, easily created, and super fun...there was something in there for everyone!
For specialty alcohols and DIYs, instructions were right there and available on the same page as the cocktail as well as in the back of the book with some places to get other products like dehydrated fruits.

I loved this, and am totally planning on ordering a copy for not only myself but the bar I work at to display on our shelves!!

This is a straight up delight! Not only are the actual drink recipes appealing, they're absolutely beautifully photographed. Even if you never made a single one, this is pretty enough to be a coffee table book. There's a good buying guide for specialty ingredients at the end as well as instructions for how to make infused spirits and various mixers.

On top of all that, T-Pain is a hilarious narrator! I laughed out loud multiple times at his commentary. This book would make an excellent, entertaining gift for anyone with a great sense of humor and a penchant for libations.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is an interesting book!

There are beautiful pictures of mixed drinks as narrated by T-Pain. The drinks have clever names and tell you the kind of drink, cup, liquor, etc. as well as how to make it. There are tips from T-Pain throughout the book on things like bringing host gifts, how to properly prepare to visit a strip club, and mixing liquor.

The book is meant to be funny and fun and is nice to browse through. Some of the drinks are time intensive and nothing super jumped out at me, but there's a nice variety of drink recommendations.
