Sleepy Girl Mocktail Recipe (Zero Sugar)

The sleepy girl mocktail — tart cherry, magnesium, and something fizzy, sipped an hour before bed — is TikTok’s favorite nightcap. Most versions lean on a full glass of cherry juice and sweetened soda. This one keeps the ritual and cuts the sugar way down: a Raspberry Martini Stix brings the berry flavor, so a splash of tart cherry juice is all you need.

Ingredients

  • 1 Raspberry Martini Cocktail Stix
  • 2 oz unsweetened tart cherry juice
  • 5–8 oz sparkling water
  • Ice
  • Optional: magnesium powder (the ingredient that made the original famous — your call)

Instructions

  1. Stir the Stix (and magnesium, if using) into the tart cherry juice until dissolved.
  2. Fill a glass with ice and pour the cherry mix over it.
  3. Top with sparkling water, stir gently.
  4. Sip, wind down, lights low.

Why this version

The Stix adds 0g sugar, 0 calories, and 0 net carbs, and it does the flavor heavy-lifting — so instead of 8 oz of juice, you get the tart cherry hit from 2 oz. All the ritual, a fraction of the sugar.

FAQ

Does it actually help you sleep? It’s a wind-down ritual: a real drink in your hand, screens down, lights low. The original recipe pairs tart cherry with magnesium; we keep both and cut the sugar. No promises — just a better nightcap.

When should I drink it? The trend says 30–60 minutes before bed.

No tart cherry juice? A handful of muddled raspberries or a splash of cranberry gets you close.
