Somethin' For Summer – Strawberry Honey Dijon BBQ Rub (Limited Edition)

This is a sweet-leaning BBQ rub that still plays like a real seasoning. Somethin’ For Summer is built around honey-forward smoke, strawberry powder, and mustard bite, then finished with basil and tarragon so it lands bright instead of candy-sweet. Think “sticky backyard BBQ,” but with enough tang and herb to keep it usable on weeknight protein, not just ribs.

The texture coats well, browns fast, and builds a glossy-looking crust when you grill or roast. It’s especially strong on chicken thighs, pork tenderloin, ribs, salmon, and grilled vegetables where you want sweet-and-tangy flavor without reaching for a bottle of sauce mid-cook. If you’re shopping for a strawberry honey Dijon BBQ rub, a sweet BBQ seasoning for chicken, or a dry rub that works on fish and veggies, this one hits the mark. It’s limited edition, so when it’s gone, it’s gone.

This blend is for cooks who want “summer flavor” without dessert vibes. Use it as a dry rub, a finishing seasoning, or as the base for a quick glaze. It also does a weirdly good job on non-BBQ stuff: rim a cocktail glass, dust corn on the cob, or use it anywhere you’d normally do sweet heat. And yes, it’s a real move in vinaigrette when you want fruit + tang without chopping anything.

How to use it: For grilling and roasting, start with 1–2 tsp per pound, pat on, then let it rest 15–30 minutes before cooking. For ribs and bigger cuts, go 1 Tbsp per pound and rest 30–60 minutes (or overnight if you have time). For a quick glaze, mix 1 Tbsp rub with 1 Tbsp oil (or butter) and brush during the last 5–10 minutes of cooking. Best paired with Somethin’ Somethin’ Sauce or The Clevelander.
