Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsweetened cranberry juice
  • ½–1 tsp magnesium powder (glycinate preferred)
  • 2–3 oz sparkling water or lemon-lime soda
  • ice cubes (as needed)
  • 1 optional garnish (rosemary sprig, lime slice, or cherry)

Instructions

  • Fill a glass with ice cubes to your liking.
  • Pour in ½ cup unsweetened cranberry juice.
  • Stir in ½ to 1 teaspoon magnesium powder until fully dissolved.
  • Top off with 2–3 oz sparkling water or soda for a fizzy finish.

Use magnesium glycinate for best results—it dissolves easily and is gentle on digestion. Try adding tart cherry juice, pomegranate, or flavored seltzer for variations. Sip 30–45 minutes before bedtime for optimal effects.
