Hey there!

Did you know that  T-Pain has a cocktail recipe book, named appropriately, Can I Mix You a Drink? We picked it up earlier this year and it's full of 50 beautiful and tasty creations. We had some Creme de Cacao left over from last week, AND we were gifted some bitters from Scrappy Bitters so the stars were aligned for us to make the first cocktail in T-Pain's book, "Shawty". We hope you enjoy! As always, if you make any of our drinks, take a picture and share them with us online!
