Bourbon BBQ Sauce
Ingredients
¼ cup bourbon whiskey
¼ cup packed brown sugar
⅓ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot ®)
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons butter
Stir the bourbon, brown sugar, ketchup, white vinegar, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, honey, and butter together in a saucepan over medium heat; cook, whisking occasionally, until the mixture begins to bubble. Reduce heat to low and cook at a gentle simmer, whisking occasionally, until the sauce thickens nearly to the consistency of maple syrup or molasses, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
I add a bit more bourbon to mine, but great as is!
I also crank up heat a bit with more cayenne or hotter hot sauce
