Its smokey flavor and [boozy qualities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rufus-teague-x-garage-beerbq-sauces) give any dish an added kick. This [unconventional condiment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomatcha-ketchup) is a homemade sauce made of minimal ingredients. The total cook time for this tasty ketchup is 30 minutes while it only incorporates the use of 10 ingredients. Made in one bowl, this nontraditional condiment features an array of flavors from [sweet and savory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miso-teriyaki-bbq-sauce) to rich and smokey. The organic tomato sauce complements the whiskey quite well and makes this sauce as thick as can be. Though it is stated that a bourbon whiskey is the best whiskey to use for this ketchup, the decision is really up to the cook. Whiskey BBQ Ketchup is best enjoyed atop breakfast potatoes, french fries, tater tots and burgers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Whiskey BBQ Ketchup:** Opportunity to create and market unique flavored ketchups with unconventional ingredients like whiskey. - **Smokey Flavor:** Potential for developing new products with a strong smokey taste, incorporating it into various food and beverage items. - **DIY Condiments:** Growing trend of homemade condiments, creating opportunities for new condiment recipes and niche condiment brands. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Manufacturing:** Potential for food manufacturers to create and market specialty ketchup products with unique flavors and ingredients. - **Alcoholic Beverages:** Opportunity for whiskey and other alcohol brands to collaborate with condiment manufacturers to create whiskey-infused ketchups and other alcohol-infused condiments. - **Culinary Tools and Accessories:** Demand for products and tools that aid in DIY condiment-making, such as ketchup-making kits and smoker accessories for getting a smoky flavor. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [BBQ-Inspired Whiskys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ardbeg-bizarrebq.md) - [Whisky-Infused Fast Food Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whisky-river-backyard-bbq.md) - [Bloody Mary Ketchups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zing-zang-bloody-mary-ketchup.md) - [Espresso BBQ Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espresso-bbq-sauce.md) - [Country Musician BBQ Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tennessee-style-bbq-sauce.md) - [Boozy Maple BBQ Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maple-whisky-bbq-king.md) - [Root Beer BBQ Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ps-seasoning-root-beer-bbq-sauce.md) - [Spicy Hot Sauce Ketchups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-ketchups.md) - [Smoked Old Fashioned Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-fashioned-kit.md)
