Colada Me Later: how to make Italian restaurant Gloria's signature cocktail

The hottest new Italian in town, Gloria is known for more than just its super-sized carbonara   

There’s a reason why Shoreditch's Gloria stays open late on a Friday night. And that reason, friends, is the cocktails.

One particular beverage has caught the imagination and, of course, Instagram stories of Gloria’s pleasure-seeking clientele: the signature “Colada Me Later” cocktail.

As you probably gathered, this is a take on a classic Pina Colada, but with a couple of flamboyant twists. Look away now purists, cinnamon is involved...

Ditch the Aperols this summer, they’re so 2017 anyway, impress your friends with one of these bad boys instead. Or, just head to Shoreditch and get someone to make one for you. Either way, check out the video to see Gloria’s bartender give ES Magazine an exclusive glimpse into how they’re made.
