BBQ Spritzer Recipe
This simple-to-make BBQ spritzer is a concoction of different flavorful liquids used to enhance the flavor of slow-smoked cooked meats.
Ingredients
- 1 cup beer
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup apple juice
Instructions
- Measure out equal parts of the apple juice, vinegar, and beer. I prefer to do this in a large measuring cup with a spout for easier pouring.
- Pour the mixture into a spray bottle of your choice. I usually just pick these up from a local hardware store. The most important aspect is ensuring you can adjust the nozzle.
- Spray your BBQ or smoked meats as needed onto the drier areas. This will almost always take place before whatever it is your smoking is wrapped to push through the stall.
Notes
Make-Ahead: Depending on the ingredients, you can make this up to a week ahead of time.
How to Store: If using things like beer, butter, or stock, I transfer it to a container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. When using only water as the liquid, I keep out at room temperature in the spray bottle for up to 2 weeks. You can freeze this covered in a container for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator for 1 day or until thawed before using it.
If you do not have a spray bottle you can easily brush the spritzer using a pastry brush and applying it directly to the areas of the meat that need it.
