I have like seventeen million jobs and I'm
adding a new one as a mixologist.
You know I've been mixin' on the turntables since
the 90s and now I'm ready to mix behind the bar.
What's goin on ya'll, it's ya man Nick Cannon,
AKA Mr Incredible AKA Ike TurnUp
And right now, we are behind the bar and I'm
gonna hook you up with a special drink that kinda
embodies my new single "Only You" and I'm makin'
it only for you.
I'm doin a Mai Tai ya'll, yes I'm tropical,
I'm Caribbean with it and I'm callin' it "Mai Time To Turn Up"
See Mai Tai feels tropical, it feels like
something you drink on the yacht and when I was makin
the song "Only You" I was like "Yo this feels like
somethin' you could dance to while you're on the yacht"
It's calming, I love the ocean, I love the vibes.
It feels like it's endless.
I'm someone who believes there is no limits and
I wanna live that incredible life so that's what I'm doin.
To make this drink you're gonna need
Of course
A few different types of rum, liquor and top it off
with the bitters.
We're gonna get into all of that.
We're gonna start with a little lemon juice, 3/4ths
you know, start it off, give you that quick little tang.
Ahh yeah it hits you right here
Boom
After the lemon juice we're gonna go right to
the Orget, that's just a fancy word for Almond Syrup.
Like it sweet ya'll, I'm a sweet dude, the ladies say
I'm sweet.
3/4ths of the Orget
Boom
Uh
I am addicted to sweet stuff.
I have a whole candy store in my house.
A lot of people thought it was for my children.
No, it's for me.
My kids don't even like candy much as I do.
And then we gonna go one and a half of that
pineapple juice.
Now as you know, we makin' something tropical, so you
gotta have a whole lot of pineapple.
Now comes the fun part ya'll, we startin' with
the tropical vibes and everything but we gotta
add the liquor.
We gonna add somethin' all the way from Brazil,
you know I like my liquor like I like my women,
you see how I do.
Sweet, pure sugar cane right here, all the way
from Brazil, it's called Cachaca.
Woo depending on how much you wanna turn up,
Imma say one half if you a lightweight.
If you're really tryin' to turn up another half
Hey, why not, a third half
You do the math
And then a little Rum right here.
Rum is a fly thing, you know Rum feels like you're
on that Caribbean island vibe, that real tropical vibe.
Uhh
It's the turn up
Ain't no fun if you ain't got no rum
Boom!
Bow!
We right there with it.
I created the song, it was me, my OG Fat Joe of
course, and then Luke Nasty brought the little
old school flavor to it.
We got the surface sample, it feels like the weather
is right, we put that whole vibe onto it, we got
the yachts.
We was floatin' across International
waters if you will.
Uh
And then of course, I'm a icy type of individual so
while we in there shakin' we just gonna add just a
little bit of ice.
Just to cool everything off, feel everything together.
Cause the song makes you dance so you gotta get to shakin'
Uh
♪ Only you can make it happen ♪
Woo
You feelin' the vibe
Uh, there it is.
Boom
Oh yeah, yeah yeah.
We ready
I love sweet and icy drinks
You can never have too much ice.
Here it is ladies and gentlemen.
Mai Time To Turn Up
Bam!
Time to add those bitters
Now this is one of the most popular bitters.
Add a little color to the drink
Ain' nothin' wrong with some melanin
Woo, it's that flavor
It's lookin' alright.
Then you get to the fancy one
It's all the way from New Orleans ya'll, it's a Peychaud
And then to top it off, you know, because we're
feelin' tropical, gotta add that pinapple leaf.
And there you have it, the incredible Mai Time To
Turn Up baby
Ooh shit!
It's incredible!
I make emotional music, I make feel good vibes,
I'm always tryin' to fly on the right frequency and
"Only You" is that
It's about optimism, it's about empowerment,
it's about excellence right now.
I mean people are ready to dance, people are ready to
feel good and that's what "Only You" is doin.
That's what this Mai Time To Turn Up is doin.
It's incredible baby.
And there you have it ladies and Gs, this is my
incredible Mai Time To Turn Up.
You see it here, Behind The Bar, it's ya man Nick Cannon.
Make sure you go ahead and make this drink and listen
to that hit song, "Only You"
