Prohibition Style Baby Back Ribs

Juicy and tender baby back ribs, perfectly seasoned with a blend of Pot Still Pork Rub and Smoky Mountain Sweet Rub, slow-smoked, and basted with Prohibition Original BBQ Sauce for a rich, smoky flavor. These ribs are the ultimate BBQ delight, caramelized to perfection.

What You'll Need:

  • 1 rack of baby back ribs
  • 2 TBSP Pot Still Pork Rub
  • 2 TBSP Smoky Mountain Sweet Rub
  • 2 TBSP spreadable margarine
  • 1 TBSP whiskey
  • ½ cup Prohibition Original BBQ Sauce
  • 2 TBSP yellow mustard
  • ¼ cup turbinado sugar
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 TBSP hot sauce
  • 1 TBSP apple juice

How To Prepare

Season the Ribs:

  • Cover the full rack of ribs with yellow mustard as a binder.
  • Rub the ribs with Pot Still Pork Rub and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Rub with Smoky Mountain Sweet Rub and let rest for another 10 minutes.

Smoking:

  • Preheat the smoker to 250°F.
  • Place the ribs meat-side up, making sure they’re not directly over the heat source.
  • Allow the ribs to smoke in the closed smoker for 2½–3 hours or until the meat begins to shrink back from the bones.

Prepare the Foil:

  • While the ribs are smoking, place 2 sheets of heavy-duty foil on the counter.
  • Spread 1 TBSP of margarine across the foil.
  • Scatter 2 TBSP of turbinado sugar on the margarine, then add ½ of the hot sauce, honey, whiskey, and apple juice.

Wrap and Continue Cooking:

  • Place the ribs meat-side down on the foil, and repeat the previous steps on the back of the ribs.
  • Wrap securely with a good seal and return to the smoker meat-side up for 1 hour.

Check for Doneness:

  • The bone should be exposed by about ¼ inch from the end of the meat. If not, reseal and cook for another 10 minutes, checking periodically until done.

Final Step:

  • Remove the ribs from the foil and baste them with Prohibition Original BBQ Sauce.
  • Place them back on the grill or smoker at 275°F for 5-10 minutes to set the sauce.
  • Repeat basting if a thicker glaze is desired.

Rest and Serve:

  • Let the ribs rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy the tender, smoky goodness!
