Mojito Madness by Bella Luna Crafts
Legend has it that the first Mojito was brought to the U.S. from Cuba by none other than Ernest Hemingway, world-famous author and imbiber. The name comes from the African word "mojo" which means "to place a little spell". It's a combination of rum, mint, lime and sugar and places a little spell on all who drink it. This namesake soap will place a little spell on you, too.
This soap is loaded with olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter and castor oil. And just like the cocktail, peppermint and lime are integral to this soap as it is scented with those essential oils. It's colored with french green clay and a touch of green oxide colorant. Let your skin and senses soak up all its bubbly and freshly scented goodness!

TEQUILA SUNRISE by Thistle Delight Soapworks
Tequila Sunrise is my cocktail of choice. Tequila, Orange Juice, and Granita helps to make up the wonderfully refreshing drink. Can't think of anything better on a warm tropical beach, than the sound of the emerald waters lapping on the white beach, and sipping a wonderful Tequila sunrise served up by my cabana boy. This soap is just as refreshing and will take you away to those sandy beaches in Paradise.

Amaretto Sour on the Rocks by Hansen Soap Co.
Memories of hot summer nights down by the boardwalk, great friends, great music, and dancing the night away. Being young and carefree, and watching the sunrise come up over the horizon. Memories of days past come rushing back with this scent. A delectable combination of sweet and sour. Warm almond notes, hints of sweet cherries, and zing of real lemon juice poured into a chilled glass with ice. The scent harmonizes mind, body, and spirit. As close to a true amaretto sour as you can get without mixing one up at the bar.

The St. Ginger Cocktail by Zozca
I love, LOVE sushi! If there was a food I could eat every day it would be this! So what better cocktail to make for this challenge than the St. Ginger! It was created as perfect compliment to drink with, what else? SUSHI! The St. Ginger Cocktail itself is:
2 nickel-sized slices of fresh ginger
What I have done is infused elderflowers in Coconut Oil, Fair Trade Unrefined Shea Butter and Olive Oil while mixing a delightful blend of Fresh Ginger Essential Oil and a dash of Lime Essential Oil to create this light, refreshing treat for the senses. It's so delicious, it makes me want to go out to my favorite place where the chef knows my name and eat........sushi!!

Pomegranate Margarita Shea Butter Soap by Copperlilly Botanicals
This soap was inspired by the fantastic Pomegranate Margarita served at my favorite Mexican restaurant, Ortega's, in San Diego California. It's your classic tangy lime margarita swirled with a sweetened pomegranate syrup. It's bright and refreshing, and the lightly sweet pomegranate complements the acidity of the fresh lime juice perfectly. I have been working on this scent blend for months, and am thrilled with how perfectly it captures the spirit of the cocktail. I'm quite tempted to keep the entire batch for myself. Like all of my soaps, this is made with copious amounts of olive oil and unrefined shea butter for a creamy and luxurious lather. I have a feeling I will be making another batch of this very soon!

Watermelon Shooter (aka The Squashed Tree Frog) by The Ivory Magnolia
Our cocktail is all soap from the cherry on top to the bottom of the shot glass! Here are the ingredients for the traditional cocktail:
Midori® melon liqueur
Advocaat liqueur
Bailey's® Irish cream
Grenadine syrup
Midori is a vibrant green, honeydew melon flavored liqueur launched in the US in 1978. It's high versatility and refreshing melon taste has made it an essential bar ingredient, used in world famous cocktails such as the Midori Margarita and Melonball.

Tequila Sunrise by KBShimmer
Tequila Sunrise, a beautiful drink filled with the wonderful taste of orange juice and tequila with the sweetness of grenadine. Poured down the side of the glass, the grenadine sinks to the bottom and forms a beautiful sunrise with cherry reds and pinks leading up to sunny yellows and oranges. Echoed in this soap, a sweet citrus scent with notes of pineapple and sandalwood accent the swirls of reds and pinks that lead to the golden orange swirled top. No tropical drink would be complete without the cherry, and so neither was this soap, a "cherry" red spot tops this soap. Kick back, have a drink and enjoy a relaxing bath with Tequila Sunrise Soap!

Cheers to my favorite cocktail, the fabulous Lemon Drop Martini. The
smell is heavenly and is refreshing for summer. This big 7 oz organic
bar contains skin-quenching goat’s milk from our small family of Nubian
Goats. Nubian’s have high milk-fat and we use 100% goat’s milk for a
creamier bar. Your skin will feel the difference! Lemon Drop is

infused with calendula, comfrey, marshmallow root and plantain. I also
add a touch of organic raw sugar to the bar which gives it a

The soap is made in about 4 subtle layers of pale green to vivid lime, with glittery cubes of ice. Our lime Margarita scent is a vivid fresh lime, with hints of orange, and blue agave tequila. I know I'm thirsty now...

Pink Squirrel Cocktail by Bath Artisan Soaps
Pink Squirrel Cocktail
1 oz. White Creme de Cacao
1 oz. Cream de Noyaux
1 oz. Cream
Combine ingredients in a shaker filled with ice, shake and pour into a chilled martini or cocktail glass.
I'll admit - I don't normally drink Pink Squirrels! I'm into a little heavier libation but the name "Pink Squirrel" is so darn funny and the drink is so stinkin' cute! A pale pink from combination of Creme de Noyaux, an almond flavored liqueur, Creme de Cacao, a light chocolately flavor liqueur and a splash of heavy cream, shaken till frothy and foamy. This is our version of the "technicolor rodent"! A lovely almond scent with slight whiffs of vanilla and cocoa and rich cream in our favorite cocoa butter formula! Down the hatch!
