What is an Adrenal Cocktail?
By now, if you’ve been on the internet at all, you’ve probably heard of the beloved Adrenal Cocktail. To put it simply it is a drink that replenishes your adrenals by providing your body with minerals in a quick and easy way. Read on to hear more, or skip to the recipe!
The Adrenal Cocktail is like a nutrient-packed boost for your body, designed to nourish and support adrenal health in a simple, easy-to-drink formula. Packed with vital minerals and whole food nutrients, this drink provides your body with the key elements it needs to manage stress and promote overall adrenal function.
At the heart of the Adrenal Cocktail are three essential ingredients: Sodium, Potassium, and Whole Food Vitamin C. These nutrients work together to support the adrenal glands on a cellular level, helping them respond effectively to stress. The electrolytes—Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, and Calcium—play a critical role in maintaining optimal adrenal function, as they help balance fluids and support a wide range of bodily processes.
The adrenal glands secrete hormones that are crucial not only for regulating stress but also for maintaining your body’s pH balance and assisting liver function. These complex processes are fueled by the electrolytes and the naturally occurring Vitamin C from whole food sources found in the cocktail.

How We Incorporate Adrenal Cocktails As a Family
I personally love drinking Adrenal Cocktails during pregnancy—especially as an afternoon pick-me-up or to help wake me up after a nap. It’s been so helpful when I’m running low on energy. As a mom it really does give me life on days I’m feeling sluggish, I like to call it my nap in a cup. My husband, a professional basketball player, swears by having one every day for recovery and to keep his energy levels up during training and even games. We also give them to our kids, particularly on days they miss a nap, and it’s amazing how much it helps them stay energized and focused.
Components of an Adrenal Cocktail
Whole Food Vitamin C
For this Strawberry Watermelon “Nojito” Adrenal Cocktail recipe our source of Vitamin C is a freshly squeezed organic lime.
Potassium
The main source for this recipe is organic watermelon juice, with approximately 270mg of potassium.
Sodium
High quality SEA SALT – I personally source mine from Crucial Four. If you use code: TAYLORG it will save you 10%
Is there alcohol in this cocktail?
No. The adrenal cocktail is actually more so a mocktail, the person who originally created it gave it the name of adrenal cocktail, so to keep it simple – I also keep that original name!
But wait, there’s more to love!
This recipe is the Watermelon “Mojito” Adrenal Cocktail l recipe, if you would like to try more of my adrenal cocktail recipes, you can find them here!
Ingredients
1 cup watermelon juice
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
3 organic strawberries, plus extra to garnish
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-2 fresh mint leaves, plus extra to garnish
Ice, optional
Instructions
- In a blender, add 2 strawberries, 1-2 mint leaves (your preference), and watermelon juice.
- Strain with a fine mesh sieve or cheese cloth.
- Add the last strawberry, lime juice and salt to a glass and muddle.
- Add in the watermelon juice mixture in the glass and stir.
- Top the glass off with ice, if using.
- Garnish with mint leaves and strawberries, and enjoy!
Notes
- I like to make my own watermelon juice over buying store bought. All you need to do is cut up your watermelon, take the seeds out, and blend. After you blend your watermelon, either strain with a cheese cloth or a fine mesh sieve. And that’s it! And of course if you have a juicer, that works as well.
- Using a high quality sea salt is important for this recipe and I personally use Crucial Four. If you already have a high quality sea salt that you prefer, go ahead and use that! If not, you can use the code: TAYLORG to save you 10% on the Crucial Four Icelandic Flake Salt, if they are out of stock I will then go for their Polar White Sea Salt, both are good! I can’t stress this enough, but having a high quality sea salt makes all of the difference, not just in this recipe, but in your overall diet.
- When squeezing your lime, the best way to get all of the juice out it to first roll the lime against a hard surface using your palm. Cut your lime in half, then place the lime cut side first into your citrus juicer and squeeze until all of the juice comes out.
- Using a muddler, makes this recipe easy, but if you don’t have one you can just add the 3rd strawberry into the watermelon and mint juice mixture.
- If it makes it easier and faster for you, and you don’t need/want the muddled strawberries, you can throw all of the ingredients into your blender and strain after.
