There’s a lot going on in this simple BBQ sauce. Tang from the vinegar, sweetness from the brown sugar, earthiness from the espresso, and smoky-chocolatey-spice from the FL Coffee Talk creates a great utility barbecue sauce. You can substitute a strong coffee, but real-deal espresso is the key to making this recipe work. Upfront punch from the vinegar, then mellows into an equally noticeable espresso bite, making for an unlikely yet happy marriage of flavor! We love this BBQ sauce with fatty, rich meats such as brisket, pork shoulder, burgers, etc., but we find that it tends to overpower the flavor of lean meats.
