1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and optional cayenne.

Recipe Tips

• What is the most important ingredient? The smoked paprika is the backbone of this sauce’s flavor. If you don’t have it, regular paprika will work, but you’ll miss that signature smoky note.
• How can I get the best flavor? Make this sauce a day ahead of time. Letting it rest in the refrigerator overnight allows all the individual flavors from the spices to fully blend and deepen, resulting in a much more delicious and cohesive sauce.
• How should I store the sauce? For the best preservation of flavor, store the sauce in a glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid in the refrigerator.
• Can I adjust the consistency? Yes. If you prefer a thinner sauce for drizzling, you can whisk in a teaspoon or two of water or extra apple cider vinegar until it reaches your desired consistency.
