fun thing, when using a verb's て形 for "sequencing", you should take care to understand what you're saying

if you wanted to say "come over for drinks!" (let's say you were at a bar, and calling a friend over)

if you said 「飲んで来てね」what you would be saying is "drink (or "get drunk"), and then come over"

you would have to say 「飲みに来てね」

so instead of　飲んで [のんで], you use 飲みに[のみに]

the first is "drink" (the verb to drink, in imperative mood), the second is "do X in order to do drink" (yeah, に used in this way conveys "do X in order to drink"), where X is the verb that comes before, in this example, it's "to come" = 来て[きて]
