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!
