Sleepy Girl Mocktail Recipe — A Calming, Caffeine-Free Drink for a Good Night’s Sleep

The Sleepy Girl Mocktail is a popular bedtime drink made to help you relax and unwind—especially before sleep. It’s soothing, tasty, and super easy to make.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup pure tart cherry juice (unsweetened is best)

  • 1/2 cup sparkling water or prebiotic soda (like Olipop or Poppi – lemon-lime or berry flavors work great)

  • 1 tbsp magnesium powder (optional, but often used for relaxation—make sure it’s safe for you)

  • Ice

  • Optional: Lemon slice or cherry for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Fill a glass with ice.

  2. Pour in the tart cherry juice.

    • Tart cherry juice is known for its natural melatonin content, which may support better sleep.

  3. Add magnesium powder (if using).

    • Stir well until it’s fully dissolved. Magnesium can help calm the body and mind.

  4. Top off with sparkling water or a prebiotic soda of your choice.

  5. Stir gently. Garnish with a lemon slice or cherry if desired.

  6. Sip slowly about 30–60 minutes before bedtime to help wind down.

Why it Works:

  • Tart cherry juice: Contains melatonin and antioxidants.

  • Magnesium: Helps with muscle relaxation and sleep quality.

  • Sparkling water: Makes it refreshing and fizzy without caffeine or sugar.
