grammar sentence moods, phrase and clauses

What sentence mood is 'see if you can drink this one instead of spilling it'. It definitely has an imperative sound but that would be in the phrase 'drink this one instead of spilling it' what role does 'see if you can' play, is it way to make the imperative less direct and is this a phrase or clause, I'm confused as it contains both a verb and a subject but in an unusual structure. Please help

The verb in the main clause is the imperative 'see'. The rest of the sentence is a subordinate clause.
