Everyone knows that having BBQ sauce on hand at all times is a must. Whether you are grilling steaks, ribs, burgers, you need a good BBQ sauce.
It wasn’t until a few years ago that I discovered just how easy it is to make my very own BBQ sauce. So here's my Signature Whiskey BBQ Sauce.
BBQ sauce recipes almost always include ketchup, vinegar, and spices. And this gem of a recipe is no different. Except it has a bit of Whiskey in it.
There are several different variations of this Sweet Whiskey BBQ Sauce floating around on the Internet but after some trial and error, this is what I ended up with for my go-to BBQ Sauce. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
