Barbecue sauces flavored with soft drinks are a long-standing tradition in the South.

Ingredients:

1 cup root beer

1 cup ketchup

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup orange juice

3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon mild-flavored (light) molasses

1 teaspoon liquid smoke

1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder
