Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Coffee is a really underrated ingredient for BBQ. The dark, bitter flavor works beautifully with the sweet brown sugar and spices in this sauce recipe. Just make sure to use really strong coffee to get the right impact without watering down the sauce.
2 cups brewed strong, dark coffee or espresso
2 cups ketchup
1 cup chicken or beef broth
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 cups chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 jalapeno pepper, stem removed, split, and seeded (use more if desired)
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons ground cumin
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons dry mustard
Combine the coffee, ketchup, broth, vinegar, brown sugar, onion, garlic, jalapeno, Worcestershire, cumin, chili powder and dry mustard in the crock pot. Mix well
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours or until the mixture is very thick.
Let the barbecue sauce cool then transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. You can also use a hand blender.
Use immediately or store the barbecue sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
