EAT | Alexis Mabille "Dresses Up" the Cointreau Bottle


Cointreau


An Elegant Bottle Adorned with a Bow Tie Has Arrived!


From Cointreau, the orange liqueur that creates sweet cocktails like "Sidecar," "White Lady," and "Cosmopolitan," comes a limited-edition special bottle. This exceptionally elegant bottle is designed by French fashion designer Alexis Mabille.

“Dressed Up” with His Signature Bow Tie



Mabille, admired by Cointreau's muse Dita Von Teese, views the amber glow of Cointreau and the curves of its bottle as akin to an elegant lady. To enhance her feminine allure, he has deliberately "dressed her up" with the motif of a masculine bow tie. The fusion of feminine and masculine elements──is precisely the theme of this design, and his signature French elegance is masterfully expressed on the Cointreau bottle.

This time, Mabille has designed two types of bottles. The "Cointreau Haute Couture Bottle by Alexis Mabille" (40% ABV / 1000ml / ¥10,000) features a silver bow tie gently embracing the bottle's body. Then there's the "Cointreau by Alexis Mabille" (40% ABV / 1000ml / ¥3,000), where the bow tie is rendered in gold for a more casual finish. Both will be released in limited quantities.

"Dressing up the Cointreau bottle was a wonderful experience, much like adorning a woman," Mabille shared. "Although my signature bow tie is from men's formalwear, it fits this elegant, ladylike Cointreau bottle perfectly, adding a sparkling jewel to its timeless design." With this jewel-like bottle in hand, one can create an elegant evening.
