Ingredients
  

  • Tart cherry juice – ½ cup
  • Magnesium powder or liquid supplement – 1 serving check label
  • Sparkling water – ½ cup
  • Ice cubes – optional
  • Fresh lime slice or a few cherries – optional

Equipment

  • A medium glass
  • Measuring cup
  • Spoon.

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Glass
  1. Take your favorite glass. If you want it chilled, add a few ice cubes. Not too many. This drink should stay balanced, not watery.
Step 2: Add Tart Cherry Juice
  1. Pour ½ cup tart cherry juice into the glass. This juice is known for its natural melatonin content, which supports the sleep-wake cycle.
Step 3: Mix in Magnesium
  1. Add your magnesium supplement. Powder works best because it blends smoothly. Stir gently until fully dissolved. Don’t rush — slow movements already calm the body.
Step 4: Top with Sparkling Water
  1. Slowly pour ½ cup sparkling water. Let the bubbles rise naturally. There’s something oddly relaxing about watching that.
Step 5: Final Touch
  1. Give it one gentle stir. Add a lime slice or a cherry if you like. Then take a moment before sipping. No hurry.
Important Tips & Common Mistakes to Avoid
  1. Even a simple drink works better when done right.
  2. Don’t exceed magnesium dosage — more is not better
  3. Avoid cherry juice with lots of added sugar
  4. Don’t drink it right before lying down
  5. Sip slowly instead of finishing it quickly
  6. If sparkling water causes bloating, switch to still water
  7. This drink supports sleep. It doesn’t force it.
