Elevate Your Night Routine With The Sleepy Girl Mocktail + More Magnesium Mocktails from Derek Brown!
By now, you have probably heard of the “Sleepy Girl Mocktail.” We’ve got the OG recipe down below so you can test it out in your night routine, as well as some elevated magnesium mocktails crafted by award winning mixologist Derek Brown with Natural Vitality’s CALM Magnesium.
The OG Sleepy Girl Mocktail is said to promote a healthier sleep and relaxation. The ingredients are simple: tart cherry juice, magnesium powder, and a fizzy drink (like prebiotic soda or sparkling water). Following the drink’s popularity are the creation of more mocktails with the goal of winding down and relaxation, and Derek has created the perfect collection.
“Of all the pillars of wellness, perhaps the one that came the least naturally to me as a bartender–– and yet has the greatest impact––is sleep. I mean, I used to get off work at four in the morning. So, I’ve had to incorporate a number of strategies to sleep better from a winding down routine to taking supplements like magnesium. This is a far better bet for creating quality sleep than alcohol or other sleeping aids. And it works in cocktails, too. I created these CALMtails to stand in place of alcohol and help you relax and wind down, too. It could even be a nightly ritual: making a CALMTail every night after dinner. The ultimate nightcap!” – Derek Brown
