dita von teese, paris
After taking Paris by storm in her showcase appearance at the Crazy Horse, burlesque diva Dita Von Teese was honored earlier this year by French beverage company Cointreau with the creation of le Cointreau Teese- a high glam mixture of apple, Cointreau and violet.
Now, just in time to be added to your “Naughty or Nice” list, Cointreau has unveiled the Cointreaupolitan Box- designed by Mademoiselle Von Teese herself. This sexy little gift box is lined in the hottest pink, and houses a set of cocktail glasses, a shaker, and a bottle of Cointreau. Oh, and my favorite part- it plays “La Vie En Rose” when you open it!
In Paris, the Cointreapolitan Box will be available from December 8th, and in limited quantities sold exclusively through Lavinia at Madeleine. Le Cointreau Teese on the other hand, is available chez vous whenever you want it, using this simple recipe:
le cointreau teese
1 ½ ounces Cointreau
¾ ounce apple juice
½ ounce Monin Violet syrup
½ ounce fresh lemon juice
Slice of ginger.
Rub the edge of a chilled martini glass with the ginger slice, then discard the ginger. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well, and strain into the glass.

I WANT THIS!!! I went to the actual show and I had seen the set in the back of the programe but couldn’t find it anywhere so glad I might be able to get one, hope they don’t all sell out! I can’t believe it plays La Vie En Rose, it was my first trip to Paris and they played the song on the river cruise and at the show it will always remind me of an amazing time so fingers crossed!
