January 2026 - BBQ Lovers
If your idea of comfort food includes smoky edges, sticky fingers, and that “one more bite” feeling… this box is for you. January’s BBQ Lovers Box brings a trio of bold flavors that cover the full spectrum—sweet + tangy sauce, a true everything rub, and a zesty preserved-lemon BBQ twist that wakes up weeknight dinners fast.
BBQ Fun Fact 🔥
The first appearance of the word “barbecue” in print was in 1526, in a Spanish explorer’s account of the West Indies.
Sweet Smoke Q Sauce — Original Sweet
This is Sweet Smoke’s award-winning, signature BBQ sauce—and it earns the spotlight. It’s a perfectly balanced blend of sweet and tangy that plays nicely with almost anything you throw on the grill (or into the oven).
- Try it on: ribs, pulled pork, chicken, steak—anything that deserves a glossy, craveable finish.
- Why we love it: it’s the kind of sauce that works as a base, a finishing glaze, or a straight-up dipping sauce.
Whiskey Bent BBQ — 100 Proof All Purpose Rub
All-purpose, reimagined. This carefully selected blend of spices hits all the right notes. When they say it’s an everything rub, they mean everything—from backyard classics to “what do we do with this?” fridge finds.
Use it for:
- Dry-rub ribs or wings
- Burgers, chops, brisket, chicken thighs
- Roasted veggies, potatoes, popcorn (yes)
Why we love it: it’s the shortcut to big BBQ flavor without overthinking the spice cabinet.
