Va va voom! Burlesque beauty Dita Von Teese breezed into town Thursday night to make an appearance at the Mondrian Hotel. The always impeccably dressed beauty was doing her part as Cointreau International Ambassador, introducing South Beach jetsetters to “My Cointreau Travel Essentials,” a retro-style coffret containing a minibar with all the right cocktail accessories, including a jigger, hot pink shaker and atomizer.

Dita also kicked off a travel package with her name all over it. Guests staying at the Mondrian or other Morgans Hotel properties through Dec. 30 can get the luxe box in their rooms as well as “Drinks by Dita” suggestions.

We talked Von Teese, 39, who was born Heather Sweet in Rochester, Mich.

You are the expert on cocktails. What’s your favorite right now?

I’m loving margaritas. I never realized how easy they are to mix. There’s a misconception, but they only have three ingredients: lime juice, Cointreau and tequila. I mix them at home; they’re absolutely perfect and fresh.

Is this the drink you’ll be pulling together on Thanksgiving?

I already know that I’m going for a classic sidecar. It has the warmth of cognac, and I like that in the winter time. I live in L.A. but it can get chilly, in the 40s. I’m learning how to make the perfect one.

What are your plans for the big day?

I love entertaining. This year I’m bringing my family out from Boise, Idaho, to see me. My mother will help me, which is nice. A lot of years I had to do the cooking on my own. We’ll do turkey; I love the leftovers! I might do a healthier option for stuffing this year. I’ll see if I can make it with a wonderful quinoa and brown rice.

What other things do you have going on?

My [signature] scent is out in Germany, but is on its way to global access. It’s really elegant and sophisticated, sort of day to night. My motto is more femme totale than f emme fatale. I’m putting the finishing touches on my lingerie line and have a small dress line, a capsule collection. It accommodates voluptuous women, too.

Which celebrities do you think have great style?

So many celebrities have stylists and I don’t use one, so I admire people like Diane Kruger. She’s one of those girls who always looks great but doesn’t have a huge glam squad. Tilda Swinton always so looks so chic and interesting.

What is your beauty secret these days?

I am always glad to see the red lip is back. Really, it never leaves. It really is also about taking care of your skin.
