Traditionally a cocktail created by the upper class down and out, this concoction demanded two crucial elements ; an umbrella and a can of stella. The original version used a childs pink umbrella but to personalise the drink you may exchange it with an umbrella of any size or colour, however the larger the umbrella the more difficult it is to retrieve the can.
Discovered in a little bookshop in hampstead this drinks name has evolved into a bit of a catch phrase.

Yep, he's a right stella umbrella!"
