This is my version of the latest internet trend. It won’t taste like a pop, but it does have a bit of a zing to it. I used a flavored sparkling water, but you can use what sparkling water you like. 32 oz. sparkling water 2 - 3 T. Balsamic vinegar  Ice In the bottom of 4 clean glasses, place ice.  Spoon desired amount of balsamic vinegar over ice. Top off vinegar with sparkling water and stir with a straw. Serves 4. Yep pm
