- 1 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar

- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon chipotle chili powder

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until well-mixed.
Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chipotle chili powder, black pepper, and salt to the saucepan. Stir to incorporate the spices thoroughly.
Pour in the water and stir to adjust the consistency. Add the liquid smoke for a rich, smoky flavor.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
