7UP Barbecue Sauce - Primal Grill

By Dustin

Soft drink-based barbecue sauces turn up across Planet Barbecue, and whether they owe their popularity to the sweet-sour flavor dynamic or simply the convenience and whimsy of using a beverage thats in your hand to flavor the meat, I cant say. What I can say is that youll find it throughout the Spanish-speaking world, from Puerto Rico to the Philippines.

Ingredients

• 1 cup 7UP
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 cup of your favorite sweet red barbecue sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
