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.
