In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and honey. Stir well to combine.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, black pepper, and hot sauce (if using).
Pour in the water and whisk the mixture until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Once the sauce begins to simmer, lower the heat to medium-low and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more sugar for sweetness, vinegar for tanginess, or hot sauce for heat.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature before using.
Serve immediately with your favorite grilled dishes or transfer the sauce to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
