Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Jack Daniel's whiskey
• 1 cup Ketchup
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for a kick)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, pour in the Jack Daniel's whiskey. Allow it to simmer gently for about 2-3 minutes to burn off some of the alcohol.

Step 2

Add the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and honey to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

Mix in the minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir continuously to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens to a smooth, pourable consistency.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more brown sugar for sweetness or more vinegar for tanginess, as desired.

Step 6

Once the glaze has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 7

Use immediately to brush over grilled meats, or transfer to a sealed jar or container and refrigerate for up to one week.
