I plan on doing 2 slabs this weekend and was wanting to try a spiced rum/apple juice spritz/mop.
My question is what ratio should I use? Will be my first time using the rum.
Appreciate the feedback, that sounds like a perfect starting point for me. And is it just those 2 ingrediants or are there other things that get put in that mix. Just want the next batch of ribs to be better than my last ones..
3 pts. apple juice
3 pts. spiced rum
Immediately take 2 pts.of rum mixture and drink them.
10 to 12 Cold cans of Budweiser
During smoking process consume the Budweiser until food is ready.
I used old #7 and apple juice a few weeks ago 3/1 on ribs. Loved the mix comming from the sprayer. As for the ribs I couldn't tastse neither the jack or the apple they were still moist a tender. Though next time it's 50/50 to see if the flavors i'm looking for come out
You guys got me wondering....I'm doing baby backs this weekend (my third attempt) and am thinking of marinating them overnight in apple juice, then doing the 2-2-1 thingamajig. And for the mop, how 'bout this? 50/50 apple juice and Cruzan Blackstrap rum. Should be plenty of flavor...whadda ya think? Am I crazy?
Oh, by the way - while I wait for the ribs I'll be doing shots of the blackstrap washed down with a Smuttynose IPA. VERY hoppy. yum.
My last batch of ribs was about 50/50 with fresh pressed apple juice and Pusser's Rum. Had a hard time using so much of that rum on food instead of drinking it, but it came out very nice. Just sweet enough yet with that oak like flavor that comes from that particular rum. They were the best ribs I have made to date.
