There are all sorts of amazing and different varieties of BBQ sauces to choose from all throughout the country. Of course I have one as well, which I make on a regular basis. My secret ingredient is coffee (not secret anymore!) Coffee gives the BBQ sauce a smokier taste, but in a very subtle way. I like to call it the “pick me up” sauce… well, for obvious reasons. One thing you can count on is that probably nobody will ever guess that the covert element of your sauce is coffee!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup instant coffee
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
