In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and honey over medium heat.
Stir the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved and the ingredients are well combined.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, ground black pepper, and hot sauce (if using).
Stir thoroughly to incorporate all the spices and seasonings into the sauce.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding additional salt, sugar, or hot sauce as desired.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly.
Transfer the barbecue sauce to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week, or use immediately on grilled pork or your favorite barbecue dish.
