Ingredients

• 0.5 cups Jack Daniels whiskey
• 1 cups ketchup
• 0.25 cups apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, add the Jack Daniels whiskey and warm it over medium heat for 2–3 minutes to gently cook off some of the alcohol.

Step 2

Add the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and yellow mustard to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

Add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Whisk thoroughly to create a smooth sauce.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken as it cooks.

Step 6

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed—add more sweetness, spice, or tang to your preference by tweaking the ingredients.

Step 7

Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 8

Transfer the sauce to an airtight container or a jar. Allow it to cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator.

Step 9

Serve the Jack Daniels BBQ Sauce with your favorite grilled or roasted meats, or use it as a dipping sauce or marinade. Enjoy!
