Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Jack Daniel's whiskey
• 1 cup Cola (Coca-Cola or similar)
• 1 cup Ketchup
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the Jack Daniel's whiskey and cola over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off and the mixture to reduce slightly.

Step 2

Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well until the sugar dissolves and the ingredients are fully combined.

Step 3

Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir thoroughly to incorporate all the spices.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken to your desired consistency.

Step 5

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add a bit more brown sugar. For more tang, add a splash of additional vinegar.

Step 6

Remove the sauce from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Transfer to a jar or airtight container for storage.

Step 7

Use immediately for grilling, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy your Jack N Coke Barbecue Sauce on ribs, chicken, burgers, or as a dipping sauce!
