Strawberry Balsamic Spritz

The finished Strawberry Balsamic Spritz, Garnished with some (definitely not frozen) strawberries. Admittedly I would have rather used a single fresh strawberry, but you make do with what you have some times.

It's so crazy, it just might work... is what I thought when this popped into my head, and what do ya know? It did! I know it might sound like I went off the deep end, but you gotta try this one.

I have been meaning to start tinkering with shrubs for a while, but hadn't gotten around to it, so this one draws some inspiration from the shrub format but takes a shortcut.
