I've struggled with insomnia and sleep deprivation for years. I have tried melatonin supplements, magnesium supplements, yoga, meditation, you name it and I've tried it. Yet I still rarely manage to get a good night's rest. 

I started making this mocktail with Anima Mundi's DREAM Elixir, and I have to say I am a huge fan. Adding it to drinks like this gives me the perfect thing to sip on before bed and helps me get sleepy before going to bed!

Tart Cherry Sleepy Time Mocktail:

This sleep aid drink is the perfect drink for better sleep and it's incredibly easy to make.

• Pure Tart Cherry Juice - You can find pure tart cherry juice at your local grocery store. Make sure that it is not from concentrate and made with tart cherries, and that it is not mixed with other fruit juices. There is good evidence that tart cherry juice can lead to deep sleep and better quality sleep thanks to the naturally occurring tryptophan and melatonin. Tryptophan helps the body produce the sleep hormone melatonin which helps the body transition to sleep. 
• Anima Mundi DREAM Elixir - This is the key ingredient for a good night's sleep. If you struggle to dream while you sleep this elixir is a magic potion to help encourage vivid dreams. It contains a blend of Ashwagandha, Kava Kava, Passionflower, Ginger, Skullcap, Blue Lotus, Rose, and Calea zacatechichi Pods. These powerful herbs and adaptogens are known to relax the nervous system, enhance deep sleep, and lead to stronger dream recall. I am obsessed will all things Anima Mundi; if you want to try their products out, you can use my code: "NATURALVEGAN" for 15% off!
• Sparkling Water - Any sparkling or carbonated water will work just fine for this recipe. I used Pellegrino because the ingredients are very clean.
• Maple Syrup - I love using maple syrup as a natural sweetener because it has such a deep flavor and it's full of vitamins.

See the recipe card for quantities.

Sleepy Girl Mocktail Substitutions:

There are plenty of easy substitutions that can be made to the original recipe that will allow you to still enjoy healthy sleep.

• Water - You can use regular water instead of a fizzy drink. I personally don't love carbonated water so I will often use filtered water or coconut water for added electrolytes.
• Sweetener - Any liquid natural sweetener will work such as date syrup, agave, or homemade simple syrup if you don't mind the extra sugar.

Sleep Mocktail Variations:

Although I love the original recipe of this sleep mocktail and recommend you try it out as-is, there are a couple of fun variations I like to make from time to time. 

• Soda - Add a prebiotic soda like Poppi or Olipop soda for added flavor and gut health benefits.
• Extra Relaxing - Add a scoop of magnesium citrate or magnesium glycinate for added relaxing benefits. Since I have so many sleep issues, magnesium gets me a little wired and does not give me good sleep. However, this is uncommon, so you should be okay.
• Lemon Lime - Add lemon juice and/or lime juice for a cherry limeade mocktail!
• Chamomile Tea - You can use iced chamomile tea instead of water for added stress reduction and better sleep.

See my Dragon Fruit Mojito Mocktail for another great sleep-friendly mocktail!

What You Will Need To Make This Tart Cherry Sleepy Time Mocktail:

This tart cherry mocktail is the perfect addition to your bedtime routine because it doesn't require any crazy equipment and takes less than 5 minutes to put together.

• Tall Glasses - You will need some sort of tall glass for this mocktail. presentation is key, so I always recommend using fancy glasses.
• Cocktail Shaker - This is completely option, but I find that it mixes the ingredients together best. 

As always you can find all my go-to equipment on my Amazon storefront or my affiliate page.

How To Store This Sleep Mocktail:

I would not recommend storing this mocktail because the carbonation will become flat. Luckily it only takes 5 minutes to make.
