For a deeper, smokier flavor, add 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the sauce. Taste the sauce after simmering and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more hot sauce for extra heat, or a touch more lemon juice for brightness. This BBQ sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The flavors will meld and deepen over time.
