Notes

Tips & Variations:

  • Chalky Texture: If the magnesium powder makes the drink too chalky, reduce the amount to ½ teaspoon or try an unflavored version.
  • Flavor Adjustments: Experiment with different flavored sodas or add a squeeze of lime juice to balance the tartness of the cherry juice.
  • Substitutions: Swap tart cherry juice with cranberry or pomegranate juice if preferred. Omit the magnesium powder and use a magnesium spray or supplement pill instead.
  • Prebiotic Soda: Prebiotic sodas like Olipop or Poppi work wonderfully in this recipe and add a gut-friendly twist.
  • Customization: Feel free to tweak the ingredients to suit your taste—this recipe is highly adaptable!
