Dita Does Dallas: And Brings Her MargaDita with her
Courtesy of Cointreau
The Queen of Burlesque, Dita Von Teese, recently lit up the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek to launch the Cointreau MargaDita. A crown of fashionistas tried cocktails by head mixologist Rocco Milano and noshed on hors d’oeuvres. What I didn’t know is that a Dallas socialite, Margarita Sames, created the original recipe in 1948 while vacationing in Acapulco. Try it at home with this recipe or at the Mansion bar for $15.
