Cup O' Joe for St. Patrick's Day…Irish Coffee Scrub


We are making a few
Irish Coffees to hand out on St. Patrick's Day...

Irish Coffee Body Scrub!


Take one cup of ground coffee 
+

3 Tablespoons Light Olive Oil 
(we used light Olive Oil because it has less scent)
+

a few drops of Mint Extract
and mix it all together.

In a separate bowl mix
1/2 cup sugar
+
1 Tablespoon Light Olive Oil

with a few drops of Vanilla Extract
(not too many since it will darken the color of the sugar)

Pack the Coffee Mixture into a little over 3/4 of the Irish Coffee Mug
(we got ours at Dollar Tree)
then top with the Sugar "Whipped Cream" Mixture
and tie with a shamrock.


Cheers!
(Oh if I only had my parent's vintage Buena Vista Irish Coffee Glasses!)

  1. Very cute. And dare I give you a tip? (Who knew that could even happen?!) They do make clear/white vanilla. I use it in baking for the same reason--you don't want the color change that comes from traditional vanilla.

  7. I have to admit when I saw the title I was thinking, ewww. I seriously dislike the taste of coffee, blech! But as I read further and saw it as a body scrub, now THAT I like. Yes, I'm odd. Can't stand the taste but love the smell. Perfect party favor! Love it!!!
