Bourbon balsamic pasta salad

[Matt G]

I decided to make a pasta salad to go with some breaded baked chicken drumsticks. I couldn't find the muffaletta mix that I was wanting to try in it, but I came across some balsamic vinegar. I figured I could jazz it up a bit so I headed to the liquor cabinet and grabbed the bourbon.

I mixed equal parts bourbon and the balsamic vinegar and lightly seasoned with salt and garlic powder then topped it with some dried basil. I was in a hurry, so I threw it in the microwave for about a minute to fuse them together. I mixed it in with the pasta along with a cucumber and tomatoes. It came out freaking awesome for a quick and somewhat healthy dressing
