Mumbai, Sep 18: A wellness trend known as the Sleepy Girl Mocktail has taken over TikTok and Instagram, with many claiming it helps improve sleep quality. The drink, simple to prepare, is being hailed as a natural alternative to a nightcap.

The mocktail is typically made using tart cherry juice, magnesium powder, and a splash of sparkling water or prebiotic soda. It is usually consumed about an hour before bedtime.

Despite this, the drink’s popularity continues to rise, with many crediting it for restful nights.

How to make the Sleepy Girl Mocktail

• ½ cup tart cherry juice (unsweetened preferred)

• 1 tablespoon magnesium powder
