I love reading each and every blog comment posted by Soap Queen Readers. Thank you for all of your input and inspiration- It really makes it fun for me! Mid July, I posted a tutorial on Watermelon Soaps and received a comment from SweetMadeSoap that she had made a delicious Mojito Soap with shades of green and white scented with Lime and Peppermint Essential oils. I just had to give the Mojito soap a try (as my mouth started watering just reading the comment). And the results are in…
NOTE: The Scalloped Round Mold shown in this tutorial has been discontinued. This kit now contains the Round Mold.
Glossy Silicone Tray Mold
Mint Leaves: For my dark colored mint leaves, I used clear melt and pour mixed with Liquid Green Colorant and a sprinkle of Yellow Mica. Then I poured a thin layer into a brownie pan tray mold. Once it cooled, I used my mini leaf cookie cutter to cut out the leaves. Try adding a little bit of white soap base to the mix if you want a lighter mint color. As you can see, I did both!
Assembly: Pour a thin layer of clear melt and pour (that has cooled to 130 degrees) into your scalloped round soap mold. Spritz four mint leaves and add them to the soap base. Then add another thin layer of clear melt and pour. Spritz three or four ice cubes with rubbing alcohol and add them to the soap, on top of the mint leaves. Then start the random assembly. Add more mint leaves and ice cubes until the mold is full and you have mint and ice sticking out everywhere. Repeat with the other cavities and remember that they’re not all going to be the same. There are no two Mojito Soaps alike (in my experience).
That’s great to hear – the sea salt would be a fantastic touch to those essential oils. =)
those look good!I love this.These sure look fun!
Thanks for giving me a break from work! Keep some good things to read.i like such kind of post…
Haven’t made them.But i love this combination! I will surely make it.
i have been making a mojito CP soap and my customers LOVE it! i just use a basic CP recipe and add lime & peppermint essential oils. a variation is adding mint leaves or sea salt to the top. smells just like the drink!
Ha ha … licking my lips.
They are sooooo cute. I love the sound of lime + Moroccan Mint together too.
Hopefully these inspire you to try them =)
It would be so cute tied up with a little cellophane and a green curly ribbon.
Oh yum, that would be perfect with this project =)
Mmmmm, those look good! I have a Margarita FO that I’ve been waiting to try, in CP though. I’ll definitely be moving it up my to do list now!
I love this…would make a great little gift for someone. I’m on vacation right now but plan on trying this when I get back home!
I put mojito soaps on my to-try list last year, but haven’t made them yet. These sure look fun!
I love this scent combination! I use a lime fragrance and BB’s Moroccan Mint to make these: http://beanstreetmarket.blogsp…

Haven’t made them, but your cute soaps remind me of the margarita I had last night! ;D
