Ingredients
1/2 cup (120ml) 100% pure tart cherry juice, unsweetened
1–2 teaspoons magnesium powder (glycinate or L-threonate recommended, follow package instructions)
1/2 cup (120ml) sparkling water or prebiotic soda (e.g., Olipop, Poppi)
Ice cubes
Optional: lemon or lime wedge, fresh mint, fresh cherries for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Gather all your ingredients. Ensure the tart cherry juice and sparkling water are chilled.
Step 2: In a tall glass, pour the tart cherry juice. Add the magnesium powder (or liquid equivalent).
Step 3: Stir vigorously until the magnesium powder is completely dissolved. This step is important for an even consistency.
Step 4: Fill the glass generously with ice cubes.
Step 5: Slowly top the mixture with sparkling water or your preferred prebiotic soda. Pouring gently helps preserve the carbonation.
Step 6: Give the mocktail a final, gentle stir to combine all ingredients without losing too much fizz. Garnish with a lemon or lime wedge, or fresh mint leaves if desired.
Step 7: Serve immediately and enjoy approximately 30-60 minutes before bedtime for optimal relaxation.
Notes
Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications. Adjust magnesium dosage according to your needs and product instructions.
