T-Pain's discography would put anyone in a drinking mood and the singer took our Bartender Challenge to put his cocktail mixing to the test. We can't say we're totally impressed by his skills, but the resulting drinks were entertaining and we got some of our burning questions answered.
For this challenge, T-Pain was given some classic cocktails by name and had to recreate them from memory. When the challenge started off with him asking if a margarita was made with gin, we knew we'd be in for a treat.
T-Pain then went ahead and made a Moscow Mule with Bacardi rum, tonic, grapefruit juice, and lime. For those who need a refresher, a Moscow Mule is made with vodka, lime juice, ginger beer, and mint for garnish so he was basically completely off target. Since he got this second drink incorrect he had to answer a question and confirmed that in his hit 2007 song "Buy U a Drank" he sings "And then" instead of "Oooo weee" like so many people think.
He continues to attempt to make a Long Island Ice Tea and a Soul on Fire, both of which he comes pretty close to perfecting. "It's what you wanted it to look like but then...the taste is off," he says of his own cocktail creations. The video closes out with T-Pain's wife Amber coming in to show him how to make a Cartel cocktail made with mezcal.
Watch above to see how the "Bartender" singer actually bartends and check out his favorite cocktails in his new cookbook Can I Mix You a Drink? available November 2.
