Potions In Motion Corvallis

Still glowing from Evan & Michelle’s wedding ✨ 🌕 💍
Two souls who may not have known each other long, but whose love was unmistakable ~ bursting at the seams and felt by everyone there.

Country cowboy 🤠 meets bohemian baddie✨️ with good tunes, good vibes, and a whole lotta heart woven into every moment.

I'm so grateful to be invited back into Michelle’s orbit. I have had the honor of bartending multiple celebrations for her and her family over the years. Birthday, weddings, milestones, and now THIS beautiful union. She is pure radiant energy 🌞

A mama, a grandmother, a protector of peace, vibe surfer, WIFEY ❤️ *and just a true BEACON of love!! To be welcomed back again and again means more to me than I can say.

Between the open countryside, beautiful souls, and the Harvest Moon watching over it all.... moments like this remind me why I love what I do.

Cheers~

Today I’m pausing in gratitude for the original stewards of this land ~ the Indigenous peoples who have tended, protected, and loved these forests, rivers, and mountains long before any of us called Oregon home.

In quiet honor, I’m sharing a small offering from the land itself 🌄 A simple Pacific Northwest mocktail made with huckleberries, Douglas fir tips, local honey, lemon and sparkling water.

Enjoy this refreshing non-alcohol mocktail while honoring the people who walked this land long before us, and the history it holds.🍂 🪶🧡 🌎



Ingredients:

•½ cup fresh salal berries, or frozen huckleberries (or substitute blueberries if huckleberries aren’t available)
•1 small sprig Douglas fir needles (or substitute rosemary or pine needles from an edible-safe species)
•1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
•Juice of ½ lemon
•Sparkling water or soda water

To Make:

•In a small saucepan, gently simmer the huckleberries, Douglas fir needles, and honey (or maple syrup) in ½ cup water for about 5 minutes.
Let it cool, then strain out the solids.

Pour about 2 tablespoons of this syrup into a glass over ice.

Add the lemon juice and top with sparkling water.
Stir lightly and garnish with a small fir or rosemary sprig and a few berries.

Reflect with respect for those who have long known this land and its gifts. 🌱🌲🦋
