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.

The new recipe is another addition to the global Cointreauversial campaign which has been featuring Dita since 2007.
