Instructions

Preparation

30 Minuten

Open the root beer at least 30 minutes before cooking to let the carbonation escape. Measure all other ingredients.

Reducing the Root Beer

8 Minuten

Reduce the root beer in a saucepan over medium heat by half to concentrate the flavors.

Combining the Sauce

5 Minuten

Stir in ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and apple cider vinegar. Add chipotle powder, garlic powder and salt, mixing well.

Simmering Down

20 Minuten

Simmer the sauce over low to medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and glossy.

Tasting and Bottling

5 Minuten

Remove sauce from heat, do a final taste check and adjust with chipotle or sugar if needed. Fill into sterilized containers.

Pro Tip

Let the root beer sit open for 30 minutes before cooking so the carbonation escapes and the sauce reduces more evenly.
