Taking inspiration from her Puerto Rican heritage, and where some say the Piña Colada first originated, La La Anthony is upping her Colada game this summer by sharing three new signature Baileys Colada recipes infusing different tropical flavors, spices and fruits reminiscent of her blended, vibrant background. But it doesn't stop there – La La has tapped her friend and floral artist Mr. Flower Fantastic to design three edible floral garnishes that complement the unique and delicious cocktail ingredients and showcase the power that flowers have to elevate the senses and enhance the Colada cocktail experience.

"Baileys Colada was my go-to summer indulgence last year thanks to the delicious pineapple and coconut flavors that made it easier than ever to catch all the vacation vibes," says La La Anthony. "This year, I'm tapping into my Puerto Rican roots to create some new go-to Baileys Colada cocktails with help from my friend Mr. Flower Fantastic, that will definitely brighten up any summer day!"
Mr. Flower Fantastic adds, "Floristry is a powerful art form that can help to brighten a space through multiple senses including sight, smell and taste. Summer is the brightest season of the year and I'm thrilled to be partnering with Baileys to elevate the sensory experience of a Baileys Colada cocktail in unique and unexpected ways with my art."
To celebrate the return of Baileys Colada and ring in the 'unofficial start of summer' heading into Memorial Day weekend, Mr. Flower Fantastic is popping up with a floral installation in Union Square, Manhattan from May 24th – 25th featuring a life size Piña Colada that takes inspiration from the Baileys Colada's signature blend of Irish Cream and the flavors of creamy coconut and sweet pineapple. If you're looking to try Baileys Colada for yourself, you can sip on La La Anthony's signature cocktails paired with Mr. Flower Fantastic's edible floral garnishes at cultural events across the country this summer in cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Miami.
