In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, molasses, and honey. Whisk together over medium heat until smooth.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the water to adjust the consistency to your liking. Stir thoroughly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Transfer the BBQ sauce to an airtight container or jar and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
Use this sauce as a marinade, glaze, or condiment for your favorite grilled meats, vegetables, or sandwiches.
