Though I try to vary ingredients when making barbecue sauce, two standards that I often include are bourbon and maple syrup - put them together and you have an outstanding sauce for most any meat including ribs, chicken, and beef. This sweet, savory, and spicy recipe can be made up to a week in advance to allow the flavors to blend, however it still tastes great even if you throw it together at the last minute.
