1
Prepare the Balsamic Reduction
In a medium saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar, sliced strawberries, fresh lemon juice, chopped sage leaves, and honey or maple syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
2
Simmer the Mixture
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and reduces by half.
3
Cool the Reduction
Remove from heat and allow the balsamic reduction to cool completely. It will continue to thicken as it cools.

4
Whip the Coconut Cream
In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
5
Set Aside
Once whipped, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

6
Assemble the Drink
In a tall glass, add a few tablespoons of the balsamic reduction at the bottom. Pour in the sparkling water or soda slowly to avoid too much fizz.
7
Add Coconut Cream
Top the drink with a generous dollop of whipped coconut cream.
8
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with additional fresh strawberries and sage leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Sage in Scarlet drink!
