Sleepy Girl Mocktail Recipe
This trendy, soothing drink is making waves on social media — and for good reason! It’s a non-alcoholic drink made with tart cherry juice, a splash of magnesium-rich sparkling water, and sometimes a bit of sleepy-time tea or calming herbs.
Equipment
- Measuring cup
- Glass or mason jar
- Spoon or reusable straw
- Electric kettle or small pot (optional)
- Tea infuser or mug (optional)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup tart cherry juice make sure it’s 100% pure, no added sugar
- 1/2 cup magnesium-infused sparkling water like Calm or any flavored sparkling water with magnesium
- 1 chamomile tea bag optional but lovely for extra calm
- Ice cubes
- Optional: fresh mint or a lemon slice for garnish
Instructions
Brew your chamomile tea (if using):
- Heat about 1/4 cup of water and steep your tea bag for 3–5 minutes. Let it cool completely before using it in the mocktail.
- Pro tip: Pop it in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes if you're in a hurry!
Fill your glass with ice:
- Add as many ice cubes as you like. I usually go for a handful — makes it super refreshing and chilled.
Pour in the tart cherry juice:
- Measure out 1/2 cup and pour it over the ice. You’ll already see that rich, deep red color — so pretty!
Add the cooled chamomile tea (optional):
- If you're using the tea, pour it in now. It adds a soft, floral flavor that’s super calming.
Top with magnesium sparkling water:
- Slowly pour in 1/2 cup of the sparkling water. Be gentle so it doesn’t fizz over.
- Pro tip: Stir slowly to keep the bubbles intact — it makes the drink feel fancy!
Garnish and serve:
- Add a mint leaf or lemon slice if you want to get a little fancy. Then stir gently, pop in your straw, and enjoy!
