This homemade sauce has a boozy kick and pairs perfectly with ribs, chicken, or even burgers.

Ingredients (Makes about 2 cups):

• 1 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp molasses
• 2 tbsp moonshine (or whiskey if you’re fancy)
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Stir until sugar dissolves, then simmer on low for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
3. Let cool and store in a mason jar. Brush on meats during the last 10 minutes of grilling or serve on the side.

Tip: If you want extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne or a splash of hot sauce.
