How to run it
Sauce it right.
- 01
Cook the protein most of the way naked. Sauce is a finish, not a marinade.
- 02
Brush or mop it on in the last 10 to 15 minutes.
- 03
Let it tack up over the heat. Watch the sugars, they scorch fast.
- 04
Hit it again at the table. That's the coat that counts.

Mug Shot Root Beer BBQ Sauce is a sweet root beer barbecue sauce built on molasses and real soda, made by PS Seasoning for Wisconsin 26 Mercantile.
This one blends real Jolly Good Root Beer into a classic molasses BBQ base. You get warming spice, a deep caramelized sweetness, and just an oh so subtle kick on the back end. The root beer reads as a rich, rooty sweetness rather than a novelty, and it cooks down into a glossy finish that clings to the meat.
Baste it on ribs while they ride so the molasses and root beer caramelize into the bark, glaze pulled pork right before you pull it, or set a bowl out and dunk crispy wings straight into it. It works as a finishing glaze or a dip, and it turns a backyard cookout into something people ask about.
Best on
- Baby back and spare ribs
- Pulled pork and shoulder
