1

Prepare the Ribs

Start by preheating your grill to medium heat. While the grill is heating, remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for maximum tenderness. Season the ribs with your favorite dry rub, ensuring that both sides are coated evenly.

2

Grill the Ribs

Once your grill is hot, place the ribs bone-side down on the grill grates. Close the lid and let the ribs cook for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bones. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, baste the ribs with the watermelon whiskey glaze.

3

Make the Watermelon Whiskey Glaze

In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of watermelon juice, 1/4 cup of whiskey, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the glaze thickens slightly.

4

Glaze the Ribs

During the last 30 minutes of cooking, baste the ribs with the watermelon whiskey glaze every 10 minutes. This will help to build up a sticky, sweet glaze on the ribs and enhance the flavors.

5

Serve and Enjoy!

Once the ribs are tender and the glaze is caramelized, remove them from the grill. Let the ribs rest for a few minutes, then slice them into individual portions. Serve with extra glaze on the side for dipping, and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
