Preparation

Step 1

If you want to kick it up a notch for a spicier Memphis style barbecue sauce?  Try adding a 1/2 tsp or more of cayenne.  Want it more tangy, like the Carolina’s?  Add a tbsp or 2 of red wine vinegar.  No, you prefer it sugary STL style?  Then throw in 1/4c of honey and some more brown sugar.

Go right down the list and add all ingredients to a pot, one at a time, with your burner on low/simmer.

Start with ketchup, then add the beer and coke to thin.

Then add all dry ingredients - this will save you from having to dry out your measuring spoons before adding the wet ingredients.

For best results, mix using a whisk.

Once all ingredients are added, turn burner up to high and bring to a boil.
Turn off and let sit until cool.
Dump into any container, store in fridge for as long as you want!
