Looking for a spicy twist to kick your barbecue up a notch? Barrett Black, fourth-generation pitmaster at Black's BBQ, has the answer—and it's a game-changer for ribs, chicken, and anything off the smoker.
“If you love micheladas, you'll love this,” Barrett says. First, he whips up the classic drink: tomato juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, black pepper, and a splash of Black’s Pepper Sauce to taste. Top it all off with a cold Mexican beer, stir it up, and you've got a bold, refreshing Michelada.
But the real star is the sauce.
Barrett takes the same punchy flavors and folds them into a creamy base of sour cream and cream cheese, adding a touch of honey for balance. The result? A Michelada Cream Sauce that's spicy, tangy, a little sweet, and perfect for drizzling over ribs or smoked chicken.
In this episode of Goodtaste with Tanji, Barrett breaks down the simple steps to create a sauce that brings heat, acid, and richness together—all in a way that complements slow-smoked barbecue.
If you're looking to try something new at your next cookout, this is the sauce you'll want in your lineup.
