Captain Morgan Barbecue Sauce

By

In a moment of inspiration brought on by a cold rum drink and the smell of smoking brisket, Captain Morgan barbecue sauce was born. As my brother-in-law Larry smoked a twelve pound brisket in his Oklahoma Joe pit smoker, we enjoyed a few cocktails. Captain Morgan Private Stock spiced rum and Coke was the flavor of the day, and oh what a wonderful flavor it was.

While mixing up the third (or maybe it was the fourth) round of drinks, we tossed around the idea that Captain Morgan rum would just might be a good flavor addition to homemade barbecue sauce. We tried it, and found that our suspicions were correct. The Captain makes some great tasting sauce!
