Ehhh. So I just did this recipe/drink 3-4 times, adjusting measures... Recipe, as is, with 10 ml each of Balsamic and the (cane) syrup, plus 5 ml lemon juice, yielded the best result. I did try a shake with saline solution, but I'd shy away from that, if I were you... Recipe above was too sweet and lacking balsamic and acidity. Curious if you can improve my shakes.

Interesting! I'm not a huge fan of imprecise ingredient measurements like "5 Strawberries (hulled, small & ripe)" as I feel like my 5 strawberries may have been a little too big as the balsamic was very light. Might need to taste this one before pouring to see if it needs a little more balsamic! Delicious, nonetheless. Great mouth feel, too. I'd say this would be a fun one for a dinner party, but that might also be a PITA since you'd have to make them one at a time...lol.
