Sweet Revenge BBQ Sauce

If you have someone in your life who loves BBQ, Sweet Revenge BBQ Sauce from the local, veteran-owned Sweet Revenge Barbecue Company in New Carlisle, IN, is the perfect addition to your DIY gift basket.

This award-winning sauce has a rich history, as it dates back to the Civil War and was found under a batch of molasses cookies gifted to a Vietnam veteran.

The story behind this unique BBQ sauce makes it even more special, and the savory, smoky flavor will delight any BBQ enthusiast. You can find Sweet Revenge BBQ Sauce at Canal Street Market, where we offer samples so you can taste its delicious complexity before adding it to your gift.
