Celebrity Inspiration: Dita Von Teese

Renowned worldwide for her breathtaking performances, chic vintage couture, and yesteryear beauty, Dita Von Teese is undoubtedly the international queen of burlesque who managed to shimmy her way into Marilyn Manson's heart. While her marriage to the devil himself didn't last, Von Teese has successfully made a name for herself as a modern pinup bombshell. She was chosen to be the global brand ambassador to Cointreau Liquer, one of the most famous clear crystals in the world that seduces patrons with a subtle, sweet taste of orange peels. While Cointreau is often found in cosmopolitans and margaritas, Von Teese has created a signature cocktail that's ideal to consume while watching classic films of femme fatales.

¾ oz. Apple juice
½ oz. Monin violet syrup
½ oz. Fresh lemon juice

Directions
