Greetings

The sentence:
“When he wasn't looking, she slipped a love potion into his drink.”

For info on love potion, please see the following page:

A love potion is something magical that most rational people do not believe exists, and is not to be confused with an aphrodisiac.

Best wishes, and many thanks,

sevgi/muhabbet iksiri


Explanation:
İngilizcedeki love kelimesi Türkçedeki aşk ve sevgi (ya da muhabbet) kelimelerinin ikisini de içerir. Aşk ise sevginin ifrat derecesi demektir. Hem eşinize hem de çocuğunuza hatta arkadaşınıza "I love you" diyebilirsiniz, ama eşinize sana aşığım derken çocuğunuza, hele hele arkadaşınıza "sana aşığımdan" ziyade "seni çok seviyorum" dersiniz genelde. Halkta oluşturduğu algı da önemlidir. "Arkadaşını çok seviyor denilir", "arabasına aşık" denilir ama "arkadaşına aşık" ya da "aşk derecesinde bağlı" denilmez, olsa olsa kinayeli şekilde "sanki aşıklar, hep beraber geziyorlar" denilir, ama kast edilen çok yakın arkadaş olduklarıdır.

Eğer burada bahsedilen karşı cinsleri birbirine yaklaştıran iksir ise tabi ki aşk iksiri doğru, ama iki kişi arasında sevgiyi artıran bir iksir anlamı da varsa (ki mümkün), mesela iki rakip kardeşin rekabetini ortadan kaşldırmaya yönelik bir iksir söz konusu ise daha "sevgi/muhabbet iksiri" daha kapsamlı bir ifade olacaktır.
