Cortisol Cocktail Recipe
A simple, non-alcoholic wellness drink made to replenish key nutrients. This Cortisol Cocktail is a quick mix of coconut water, citrus juices, and minerals, ready in just 5 minutes for a refreshing, fizzy sip.
Equipment
- Glass or mason jar
- Spoon or mini whisk for stirring
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Optional: straw
Ingredients
- ¾ cup coconut water
- ⅓ cup orange Juice
- 1 tbsp lemon Juice
- 1 Pinch of fine salt
- 1 tsp magnesium powder
- Sparkling water to top
- Ice optional
Instructions
- Pour the coconut water into a glass, then add the fine salt and magnesium powder and stir well. The mixture should turn clear again as the powder dissolves and the liquid is no longer cloudy.
- Add the orange Juice and lemon Juice to the glass and mix again until fully combined. The color should look evenly pale orange with no powder sitting at the bottom.
- Fill the glass with ice if you want it extra cold, then top it with sparkling water. The drink should look lightly bubbly and smell fresh and citrusy.
- Give it one gentle final stir and drink right away. The flavor should be tart, refreshing, and slightly salty rather than harsh or overly mineral-heavy.
Notes
Tips for the Perfect Drink: For the best flavor, use fresh-squeezed juice and very cold ingredients. To avoid a gritty texture, choose a fine-grain salt and stir the magnesium powder into the coconut water until it's completely dissolved before adding anything else.
Make-Ahead and Storage: You can mix the coconut water and juices ahead of time and store them in a sealed container in the fridge. For the best taste and texture, add the magnesium powder and sparkling water right before you plan to drink it.
