Bourbon Barbeque Sauce

Written by Published on in Sauce

This has become our favorite sweet sauce for all smoked meats. It also works great with our meatballs and chicken wings as appetizers.

We developed this by experimenting with many of the soda based recipes, knowing that the addition of a good bourbon would intensify the flavor in the sauce.

  4. Cook at medium heat until until it just begins to boil.
