Catherine Malandrino is hitting the bottle this holiday. (Not like that!)

The fashion designer took a break from creating gorgeous, celeb-favored looks to put her stylish touch on a limited edition bottle for the French liquor company Cointreau.

The bottle, which makes a very fashionable holiday hostess gift, is festooned with an all-American theme, including the Statue of Liberty and a smattering of stars. Conveniently, it will debut before Thanksgiving.

The French designer is known for giving a shout out to the land of the free (see her iconic flag dress), so her Americana approach is not a real surprise.

The design also boasts Malandrino's signature. And now for her signature drink...

The aptly named "Madame Liberty" cocktail (created for Catherine Malandrino by master mixologist Dale DeGroff):

1 oz. Cointreau
Splash of fresh blood orange juice
Piper Sonoma or Piper-Heidsieck Brut Rose Champagne

Serve in a champagne flute and garnish with an orange twist

To ensure you'll be appropriately dressed when you serve the chic cocktail, check out these festive frocks by the designer.
