# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes genuinely delicious, not like medicine disguised as a drink.
  • Takes five minutes from glass to sip, so no excuses on busy nights.
  • Gives you permission to slow down without feeling like you're forcing wellness.
02 -
  • Don't skip the lemon juice—it's the secret that keeps this from tasting one-note and medicinal.
  • Add your sparkling water last so you keep all those bubbles instead of losing them to time.
03 -
  • Make your cherry juice ice cubes the night before for a stronger flavor that doesn't dilute as the ice melts.
  • The real magic happens when you actually taste it mindfully instead of rushing through it like any other drink.
