In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and molasses.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the brown sugar and molasses have fully dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and hot sauce to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the water to thin out the sauce slightly, stirring to ensure an even consistency.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook uncovered for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if needed. Add more cayenne pepper for extra heat or a splash of vinegar for additional tang.
Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Transfer the sauce to an airtight container or jar. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Brush generously over grilled meats, drizzle on sandwiches, or use as a dipping sauce for fries and veggies. Enjoy!
