In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the ketchup, white vinegar, and water over medium heat. Stir until well blended.
Add the brown sugar, honey, and yellow mustard to the saucepan. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
Mix in Worcestershire sauce, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir thoroughly to combine all the spices.
Let the sauce come to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
After 15 minutes of simmering, add the liquid smoke to the saucepan and stir it into the sauce.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary (e.g., add more vinegar for tang, honey for sweetness, or cayenne for extra heat).
Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
