Goodnight, Manhattan (Sleepy Girl Mocktail)

Introducing the "Goodnight, Manhattan," a sophisticated twist on the Sleepy Girl Mocktail recipe that has been trending on TikTok. This non-alcoholic cocktail elegantly mimics the beloved Manhattan, offering a complex, layered flavor profile perfect for a refined evening wind-down.

The Goodnight, Manhattan features Three Spirit Nightcap, a non-alcoholic spirit that harmoniously blends ashwagandha, valerian root, and hops, delivering a spicy, woody, and subtly sweet taste. This is complemented by tart cherry juice, renowned for its natural melatonin content (and replacing the traditional sweet vermouth of a Manhattan). Classic aromatic bitters are swapped out for All The Bitter Lavender bitters which pair nicely with cherry and infuse the drink with calming ashwagandha, skullcap, passionflower, and chamomile.

This non-alcoholic cocktail is designed to be enjoyed as part of your nightly routine, helping you to relax and prepare for restful sleep. Whether you choose to enhance it with magnesium for added relaxation (a la the original Sleepy Girl Mocktail recipe) or prefer it as is, the Goodnight, Manhattan offers a delightful and elevated end to your day.

Recipe Note

A NOTE ON MAGNESIUM POWDER

Adding magnesium powder to this drink (as is called for in the original Sleepy Girl Mocktail) will add to its relaxing effects, but isn't necessary, and might change the flavor considerably, depending on what brand of magnesium you're using.

Three Spirit Nightcap and All The Bitter Lavender bitters contribute a powerful combination of relaxing herbs like ashwagandha, valerian root, lemon balm, skullcap, and passionflower.

If you do want to add magnesium powder to this, we would recommend shaking the drink with ice instead of stirring, or first blending the liquids with a handheld frother before adding ice and stirring to ensure that it dissolves completely.
