Upgrade Your Water- Sleepy Mocktail
Sip Your Way to Sleep: The Mocktail That Dreams Are Made Of
Hello Friends and Enemies,
Let’s talk about a nightcap that doesn’t leave you dehydrated and full of regrets the next morning: the Sleepy Mocktail. It’s chic, functional, and will have you snoozing like a baby by 10 p.m. (or 9:30 if you’re ambitious). This little elixir is here to rescue your restless nights with just the right mix of tart cherry juice, lime, and the true MVP—magnesium bisglycinate.
The Recipe for Relaxation
1 oz tart cherry juice
1 wedge of lime
1 Scoop Magnesium bisglycinate powder or tablet (your nighttime BFF)
Sparkling water
Mix, stir, and sip yourself into serenity. Add ice and serve in your favourite glass- I recommend a smaller one before bed… for obvious reasons.
Why This Mocktail Works (and Why You’ll Love It):
Tart Cherry Juice
Packed with naturally occurring melatonin, it’s basically nature’s way of saying, “Shhh, it’s bedtime.” Studies show it can help regulate your sleep-wake cycle, and honestly, it’s delicious. Plus, it makes the whole thing feel like a cocktail, even though you’re just one sip away from hibernation.Magnesium Bisglycinate: The Nighttime Whisperer
Not all magnesium is created equal, and if you’re using the wrong kind, it’s like bringing a Nerf gun to a sword fight. Magnesium bisglycinate is the premium stuff—it’s highly absorbable and doesn’t mess with your stomach (looking at you, magnesium citrate). It’s known for calming the nervous system, relaxing muscles, and supporting deep, quality sleep. In short, it’s the lullaby your body didn’t know it needed.Lime Wedge
Lime juice adds just the right tang to balance out the sweetness, plus it’s loaded with vitamin C. A hint of citrus might not knock you out, but it does make it taste better IMO.
Why Sleep is the New Glow-Up
Good sleep is the foundation of everything—your skin, your mood, your ability to tolerate slow walkers on the sidewalk. This mocktail doesn’t just taste good; it’s like a wellness coach in liquid form, reminding you that beauty sleep is more than a cliché.
So, light that lavender candle, slip into your coziest pajamas, and make yourself a Sleepy Mocktail. Trust me, your future well-rested self will thank you. Cheers to bedtime beverages that actually work!
Stay hydrated and unproblematic,
