Bedtime Mocktail Series: Restful Rose Berry Spritz

With raspberries, rosewater, honey, lemon, and your choice of a sparkling water or coconut water mixer, this calming rose raspberry mocktail has been crafted for rest and relaxation.

Did you know that raspberries are SO much more than a sweet treat…they may also support better sleep! Studies have found that regular berry consumption is linked to a longer, more restful slumber, suggesting these nutrient-packed powerhouses could play a role in promoting healthy sleep patterns.

Floral rose pairs perfectly with raspberry and is the second hero ingredient in this simple bedtime sip. Interestingly, rosewater was recently linked to research suggesting it may help to relax the central nervous system and it also contains powerful antioxidants.

Balanced out with the sweetness of honey, a touch of lemon for tartness and topped with your choice of sparkling water or coconut water, this is the perfect beverage for winding down it the evening if rest and relaxation is your goal…cheers to that!

Ingredients

8-10 raspberries, fresh or thawed
1/4 teaspoon of rosewater
1 teaspoon of honey
A squeeze of lemon (or more to taste)

*Note: carbonated beverages before bed can sometimes cause bloating or digestive discomfort, especially for those with sensitive stomachs or acid reflux. If this is you, we recommend opting for the coconut water as your mixer.

How to make it

Place the raspberries, lemon juice and honey in a short tumbler of your choice. Muddle the mixture in your glass until the raspberries are in small pieces and the juices have been released. Add some ice then top with your sparkling water or coconut water.
