Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups ketchup
  • 1/4 cup whiskey or bourbon (use whatever brand you like to drink!)
  • ¼ cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • Pinch of cayenne

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients in a small saucepan and give them a quick stir to combine.

  • Taste for seasoning -- if you want it sweeter, add a spoonful of brown sugar. If you want it more acidic with more bite, add a splash of apple cider vinegar.
