Submitted by Mysterygirl

"I'm posting this in response to a request. It got this out of a cookbook of all kahlua recipes back in the 70s or 80s. Any coffee flavored liqour should work if you don't have kahlua."

Thanks for this, I have been looking for it for a long time. I too had that recipe book years ago and had lost it. I love this BBQ Sauce. Thanks!

A little too sweet, not enough zest. Very easy to make. Good on chicken or ribs, or mix into baked beans for extra flavor. ***UPDATE*** I added a chopped chipotle pepper and some adobo sauce which added the zest I was looking for.
