The recipe I used: Enter into soapcalc.net for your size mold.
1.7:1 water/milk to lye ratio, 5% superfat
36% extra virgin olive oil
32% coconut oil
14% shea butter (could do less of this and a little more cocoa butter if you prefer)
6% cocoa butter
7% avocado butter
5% castor oil
1 tsp / lb of oils sodium lactate to help harden bar - optional
1 - 2 tsp kaolin clay per pound of oils to help anchor the lemon scent
basil and 5 fold lemon essential oils - look up usage rates on eocalc.com if you'd like
Basil leaves for the "liquid" looking portion
1 tsp cane sugar / lb of oils mixed in with lye solution to help boost lather
biodegradable straws and dehydrated lemon slices

Note: I make these videos for your entertainment (and my own!). Please make sure you understand safe handling of lye before attempting any soapmaking projects. I am not responsible for the results of your soap making projects.
