Ingredients

• 1 cup Coca Cola
• 1 cup ketchup
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine Coke, ketchup, and brown sugar. Stir well to mix the ingredients.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and add apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir to combine all the flavors.

Step 3

If you prefer your sauce with a kick, add the optional hot sauce at this stage.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.

Step 5

Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the sauce thickens evenly.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. For a tangier sauce, add a splash more vinegar; for more sweetness, a pinch of brown sugar can be added.

Step 7

Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 8

Transfer the sauce to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
