The burlesque diva and fashion celebrity Dita Von Teese, the Cointreau ambassadress, is presenting another elegant piece as part of her collaboration with the brand. Last fall, the extravagant diva unveiled the Cointreau coffret and now she presents an elegant accessory, My Cointreau Travel Essentials bar, which allows us to create and savor the divine cocktails while on trips or at home parties. The round white box is designed in retro style and reminds of a hatbox, in which beautiful rich ladies used to carry their fashionable headdresses decades ago.

“In both my professional and personal life, I travel extensively. I love to make cocktails that remind me of the places I’ve visited—a Cosmopolitan in New York, a Margarita in Miami, or a Sidecar in Paris. But I also wanted to be able to enjoy these cocktails wherever I may be, where the ambiance is right. The bar ensemble provides everything you need to make a cocktail in style, and it is also a glamorous box to keep beautiful hats, or other personal treasures. For me, ‘My Cointreau Travel Essentials’ evokes a nostalgic time gone by, when style and glamour were at their peak, with the cocktail component adding a modern twist,» shares Dita.

The new valise, which is available for $399 from November for the holiday season only, is decorated with white and grained leather inside, which makes it look like a bar in one of Paris’ grandiose hotels. The portable bar includes all the things which one may need to make an exclusive cocktail away from a traditional club or s hotel bar: a jigger for measuring, a special bar spoon, two vintage-inspired glasses, a silver shaker and a Cointreau delicate spray bottle, which is used to add aromatic notes of Cointreau to finish the cocktail. In addition to that, the brand also placed a signed, limited-edition bottle of Cointreau, which will become the heart of any cocktail—either traditional or innovative—to be created using this portable bar. The valise also goes with a leather-bound Cointreaunotebook, which can be used for writing down the best cocktail recipes and thought which inspire you to develop new unique blends.
The brand will also partner with Morgans Hotel Group to present ‘My Cointreau Travel Essentials’ portable bar with special features. This luxury travel package, which is priced starting at $680, will include the bag, a complimentary signature Cointreau cocktails ‘Drinks by Dita,’ a welcome note from the burlesque queen plus a stay at the participating Morgans Hotel Group property.
