Easy to Make Mocktail That’s Also Good For Your Health
This tart cherry mocktail has been my go to night cap a few nights a week! We have cut drinking out this spring and we’re at 50 days of not drinking alcohol. Cutting out beer has been such a game changer for us! We’re saving money and haven’t had a hangover in a really long time. It’s so nice to wake up everyday refreshed. Sometimes it gets a little boring drinking water and I wanted something a little more elevated than sparkling water, so I’ve been making this super simple mocktail for us in the evenings. Tart cherry juice is known to improve sleep and reduce inflammation. We’ve been really active lately as the weather gets warmer so it’s important for us to recover. This is the tart cherry juice I use. It’s 100% cherry juice and not from concentrate.
This drink comes together so quick and is really refreshing. It’s the perfect mocktail to drink with family and friends next to the fire on those nights you want something fun to drink without the hangover. Finish the drink off with a salt rimmed glass and mint garnish to make it extra special! Enjoy!
