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

"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

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
