Bourbon Smoked Ribs - Marinated in Texas bourbon and ginger then smoked.

Bourbon Smoked Ribs - Sweet, savory, caramelized, and falling off the bone.

Ribs soaked in bourbon and ginger then seasoned and smoked. Video instructions below:

Bourbon is a bold flavor with notes of nutmeg, vanilla, butterscotch, butter, chocolate, and espresso bringing big-time caramelization and flavor to a rack of ribs. We wanted to ensure the whiskey flavor shined and believe us it did. If you’re shy about bourbon, scale back or maybe try our Rum Smoked Ribs.

First, we trim and marinate the St. Louis-style ribs in bourbon and ginger, infusing flavor from meat to bone. Then we wash the marinade off, bind seasoning to the meat with mustard and our Back Rub bbq seasoning then we smoke until the color is perfect. Then we wrap the ribs in butter, more seasoning, and MORE bourbon so the ribs can braise until falling off the bone.

Finally, we unwrap and toss the ribs back on the Traeger pellet smoker to set the bark. Cut and serve. These ribs are so tender and packed with bourbon flavor you might feel a little burn. If you’d like to a drink to compliment the barbecue process check out “The Gold Rush” at the end of the description.
