LITTLE BRIXTON: Rum and BBQ Sauce

Sweet, sticky and slightly rummy

Little Brixton's Rum and BBQ Sauce blends sweet BBQ flavours with jerk spices and a genuine splash of rum — 5.6% of the jar, in fact. It's Jamaican barbecue perfection from a Melbourne kitchen with Brixton roots.

The flavour

Sweet and sticky up front with brown sugar and molasses, lifted by lime and warm pimento, with rum rounding out the back and a hint of habanero keeping things interesting. Rich, glossy and made for glazing.

How to cook with it

• Sticky rum and BBQ ribs — the house recipe
• Marinade for pulled pork or sticky wings
• Sauce for steak, burgers and loaded fries
• Dipping sauce for anything that survived the grill

In the jar

A thick, glossy, deep-brown sauce that clings to ribs like it's paying rent. Spoon it, brush it, mop it — it behaves in all three jobs.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

A sauce with actual rum in it? Now we're talking my language. I'll raise a rib to that. Mop it over a rack that's been sitting in the Jerk Marinade, add a dollop of Sweet Mustard on the side, and you've recreated a Brixton Sunday in your backyard. The whole Little Brixton haul came in on the last boat — get in quick.
