The TikTok viral Sleepy Girl Mocktail is what you need to drink for a restful sleep. Three easy simple ingredients (tart cherry juice, magnesium powder and sparkling water) will lead to the best sleep of your life.
I’ll admit that I’m not a huge drinker (of course, I love my Cranberry Margaritas, Cheladas, Honey Deuce Cocktail, on occasion). But for the most part I stick to water…and my coffee and iced matcha lattes. When I need a drink to calm me down, I have been on a Sleep Girl Mocktail kick and let me tell you, IT WORKS!
Ingredients You’ll Need for a Sleepy Girl Mocktail
- Magnesium Powder. I love the cherry flavor from Erewhon. I’ve also used this magnesium Powder from Moon Juice and it’s delicious.
- Cherry Juice. I use a 100% cherry juice that is tart and delicious. No additives and not from concentrate.
- Sparkling Water. This adds a nice fizz and effervescent quality to the mocktail.
For the exact measurements, please see the recipe index card below!
How to Make a Sleepy Girl Mocktail
- Add the magnesium powder and cherry juice to a glass.
- Mix it vigorously until the magnesium powder has dissolved. It should take around thirty seconds.
- Add in the ice.
- Top it with sparkling water. That’s it – so easy!
Recipe Tip
- Use a Pre-Biotic Soda – I really love Poppi. Use one of their sodas in place of soda water for additional benefits.
- Other uses for magnesium powder – You can mix it into water, if you want to skip the entire cherry juice.
- Other juices to use: Cranberry juice, pineapple juice, apple juice would all be delicious replacements for cherry juice.
- Favorite Magnesium Powders: I love the one from the Erewhon Brand and the one from Moon Juice.
Recipe FAQs
I like to drink it one hour before I want to fall asleep.
I think so! Magnesium is a mineral that is present in many foods and it helps with nerves, muscle function and regulates blood pressure. It has calming qualities that facilitate more peaceful, restorative sleep.
I love the cherry flavor from Erewhon. I also love this Berry flavored one from Moon Juice. The Erewhon brand’s magnesium is very frothy which makes it taste almost creamy.
