This drink is born from collision. Mount Shuksan is not a volcano, it has been folded and thrust upward by the same tectonic convergence that feeds Baker’s magma. Grand fir marks the alpine transition zone, its canopy sheltering blackberry bushes that thread through the understory. Subalpine meadows bloom in saturated color during the weeks between snowmelt and first frost. Bees the gentle pollinators distill this moment into wildflower honey. This is Mount Shuksan.
