Instructions
- Make the base of the mocktail. Add the tart cherry juice, lime zest, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and Celtic sea salt into a jar. Optionally add a serving of magnesium powder if desired. Shake the jar vigorously for 30 seconds or mix well using a frother to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
