Corona Lime BBQ Sauce

Homemade BBQ sauce with Corona Beer and Lime flavour Recipe

Making your own BBQ sauce is easier than one might think and it tastes far superior to anything purchased in the grocery store. There are plenty of recipes online for BBQ sauces but many of them use ketchup as a base ingredient. I decided that I wanted to develop a bbq sauce recipe that used more original ingredients. Earlier this year, I made and posted two recipes:

Coca Cola Habanero BBQ Sauce

Guinness BBQ Sauce

Since then, I have made both of these sauces a number of times. One time when I made the Coca Cola Habanero sauce I actually quadrupled the batch and sealed them in canning jars. They turned out to be a great Father’s Day gift for my dad.   I figured that it was about time to develop another recipe using the same base ingredients.

Homemade BBQ sauce with Corona Beer and Lime flavour Recipe

If there is one beer that screams summer, it would have to be Corona. This imported beer from Mexico is always a favourite on patios or during BBQs. It is only natural to make a sauce that has a Corona flavour and this recipe is easy to make and is perfect as a sauce, glaze or dip.

Lime is the common partner to Corona and it works great in this sauce. The lime juice is used instead of vinegar to provide the acidic element in this BBQ sauce. It is possible to can this sauce in Mason jars. Use 500 ml jars and make sure that they are processed in a hot water bath for 20 minutes.

    Kinda weak and thin. I’d suggest adding vinegar, mustard and more cayenne pepper.

  • What kind of beer Corona is? I live in the Czech Republic and we are known from good beer and have many kinds. I mean I would like to make it but I have to use local beer and some beer tastes sweet, some is quite bitter and so on and the amount of alcohol differs as well. So could you please describe it? Then I´m sure I could find some substitution.

    • Corona is a pale lager that comes from Mexico. Here is what epinions says about the taste. “The aroma is pretty much all malt, bubble-gum, clean to be kind, bland to be harsh. There’s an initial malty flavor, which is even briefly fruity, while the finish (probably intentionally) has very little hop or bitterness.” I hope this helps!
