How to Make Bourbon Whiskey Bbq Sauce
- In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté 1 medium chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add ½ cup Kentucky bourbon whiskey to the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off and the flavors to meld.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 ½ cups ketchup, ½ cup tomato paste, ½ cup apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon liquid smoke, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and 1-2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (adjust to your spice preference).
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- (Optional) For a smoother sauce, carefully run the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer.
- Let the sauce cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to fully develop before serving. Enjoy!
