Somethin’ Somethin’ Sauce – Sweet & Tangy Barbecue Sauce

Somethin’ Somethin’ Sauce is a sweet and tangy barbecue sauce with more going on than straight sugar and smoke. It starts with a rich tomato base, then brings in green chile for a mild bite, cinnamon for warmth, and sumac for a bright, fruity tang. The finish is where it gets interesting: espresso coffee adds a grown-up bitterness that keeps the sweetness in check and makes the sauce taste layered instead of just cloyingly sweet. This is the bottle you grab when you want “classic BBQ” energy, but you also want people to ask what that extra flavor is. Use it as a glaze, a finishing sauce, or a dunker. Brush it on chicken thighs in the last few minutes on the grill. Coat ribs after the bark sets. Stir it into pulled pork, spoon it over smoked tofu, or toss it with meatballs for game day. It’s bold and unique flavor plays well with smoke, char, and slow cooker comfort food.

This one’s for cooks who like a sauce that does the work. You can run it straight out of the bottle, or use it as a base for your own signature move. If you’re building a BBQ spread, it covers the crowd-pleasers and still keeps the flavor nerds happy. Great for weeknights, big cooks, tailgates, and any table that likes a little tang with the sweet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Somethin’ Somethin’ Sauce a sweet barbecue sauce or a tangy barbecue sauce?

Both. It’s sweet up front with a bright tang from sumac and vinegar, plus a coffee finish that keeps it balanced instead of sugary.

How spicy is it?

Mild. The green chile adds a little bite, but it’s built for all-purpose BBQ, not heat chasing.

When should I add BBQ sauce to ribs or chicken?

Add it near the end so it sets without burning. Brush on during the last 5–10 minutes, then let it tack up before serving.

Can I use it in a slow cooker?

Yes. It’s excellent for pulled pork and meatballs. Start with a smaller amount, cook, then add more at the end for a fresher tang.

Is it gluten-free and vegan-friendly?

Yes. It’s gluten-free and vegan-friendly, and it contains soy.
