This midnight tart cherry mocktail is a (dare I say it) better version of that sleepy girl mocktail that took TikTok by storm this past summer. It’s the perfect nightcap to end the day and set yourself up for a great night of deep sleep!
This tart cherry mocktail recipe is a combo of tart cherry juice, lime juice, lime zest, sparkling water, and extra magnesium for good measure. It tastes like a sour cherry soda but with tons of health benefits.
It whips up in less than 5 minutes and couldn’t be easier to make!
But What is a Sleepy Girl Mocktail?
So the basic recipe for the sleep girl mocktail is super simple. It’s just tart cherry juice, magnesium powder, and sparkling water.
However, I felt like this mocktail could taste better. So I opted to add lime juice, lime zest, and maple syrup to make this mocktail taste like a sour cherry soda.
Midnight Tart Cherry Mocktail Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need to make my version of the TikTok tart cherry juice mocktail.
- Tart cherry juice: Duh!
- Lime juice and zest
- Maple syrup: Feel free to use raw honey if you like; both taste amazing.
- Magnesium: Instead of using magnesium powder (which you can do), I use two capsules of Arrae’s calm pills and froth the powder into the mocktail mixture. I’ll include detailed instructions in the recipe card below!
- Celtic sea salt
- Sparkling water: My favorite is Gerlsteiner naturally carbonated water (not an ad, I just love their water).
Flavor Variations
Leaving a few fun flavor ideas below for you to try out, but the lime version of this mocktail will always be my favorite.
- Swap the sparkling water for iced chamomile tea for an extra calming mocktail.
- Instead of sparkling water, use a prebiotic soda or flavored sparkling water to make this mocktail taste more like a soda!
