Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the Galliano liqueur?

Is this barbecue sauce vegan-friendly?
The recipe contains Worcestershire sauce, which often has anchovies. To make it vegan, use a vegan Worcestershire sauce or substitute it with soy sauce or tamari for a similar umami flavor while keeping the sauce plant-based.
Can I make this sauce ahead of time?
Absolutely! This sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. In fact, letting it sit for a day allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Just reheat it before serving, and it will taste even better!
