Ingredients

Mrs. Griffin's Original Barbecue Sauce (May 2022 featured product)
Mrs. Griffins BBQ Shake (sub your favorite BBQ dry rub, or use equal parts Salt, Black Pepper & Paprika)
Boneless Pork Butt
2 oz Bourbon
6 oz Apple Juice
24 oz Root Beer (two cans)
Yellow Mustard (for slather to apply your dry rub)

Instructions

Double bag the pork butt in resealable freezer bags, then add root beer. Seal and place in a tin roasting pan in the refrigerator to marinate for 24 hours.
Drain pork, slather with yellow mustard, then generously apply dry rub.
Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for another 12 hours.
Heat your smoker to 240 °F.
Smoke the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 140 °F.
Combine 3 parts apple juice and 1 part bourbon into a spray bottle; baste pork generously every 30 minutes until pork reaches an internal temperature of 165 °F.
Wrap pork in tin foil and continue smoking until reaching an internal temperature of 200 °F.
Remove pork from the smoker (still wrapped in tin foil), wrap in an old towel and place in a cooler to rest for one hour.
Place pork in a new roasting pan and pull meat apart in its own juices; add a generous amount of Mrs. Griffin’s Original BBQ Sauce, mix well and serve on a toasted brioche bun or your preferred bread.
