When I see Maker's Mark in your BDSE -- my fav bourbon (I'm an Ambassador) -- I know I am going to try it.  I appreciate you posting it.  Those of lesser stature may have not given away a treasure so easily.

Thanks Bama.  Luv me some MM.

 I have held the recipe tightly for quite some time but the folks on this forum are so free with their recipes I felt like I needed to reciprocate the hospitality.

How does one become an Ambassador?

Bill, this looks awesome!    I'm not big on  vinegar base like the flatlanders, but the other looks awesome!   I'm going to give this a try tomorrow.  I've got a smoker full going out for the big game.   My hats off to you!

Bill, after going into town to get lemons in 4" of snow,   how critical is the lemon zest?   I'm going to make this tomorrow.  Wife says we don't have one of them thingys to zest it with.
 
Well, you can try it without it but the zest adds an additional complexity to the sauce and in my opinion (and other's) is a must.

When I first started making the sauce I just added the fresh lemon juice, but when I started adding the zest there was just a subtle but wonderful change in the sauce.

Do you have a cheese grater?  One with four sides?  Use the fine grate side to zest the lemons...or go to the garage and grab a micro-plane if you have one...just be sure to clean it well first.

I didn't get around to making sauce today.   It sounds really awesome.  I'm not big on sauce, but it sounds really good.   

Hope you had a great day!!

Everyone I served this sauce to instantly noted the lemon and citrus - and raved about it.  I wouldn't say the zest was critical, but to me, it is essential ;)

Great recipe.

Thank you, Bill, for sharing.

Thanks Dude!!  My pleasure - glad everyone is enjoying it.  I give away about 3  to 4 pints per week to friends and family...They are going to either have to start buying some ingredients (Makers Mark) or I'm gonna start chargin'  LOL

Best thing to do is start charging.  
I just don't have the heart to charge...plus, I really enjoy making something that people enjoy so much!  I guess if it starts to get out of hand I'll have to get an attitude adjustment.

I can understand that.   I smoke for wifes family all the time.   All day smoke for a thank you.    You'd think they could at least buy me some beer.......
 
What does the MM add to the flavor and is there a non alcoholic substitute? As a preacher it just doesn't look right me coming out of a liquor store!
 
bogey, I hear ya. Being a minister folks expect us to hold ourselves to a higher standard. But hey, we're human too.

Several years ago I got ready to make my chocolate fudge pecan pie for the holidays and ran out of my stash of whiskey. Grabbed my coat and off to the liquor store. While in the check out line, one of the neighbor ladies saw me and came up to me to "offer" me her opinion. When I went to reply to her "Wadder you doin' here" comment, I couldn't speak.  I'd been talking fine all morning and suddenly I had no voice. When she realized that I was trying to talk and nothing was coming forth, she quickly apologized and parted with"hope that your medicinal whiskey brings your voice back-looking forward to Sunday's sermon".  You can immagine the the Big Boss and I talked a little longer that night.

Cheers!
