Note
This sauce is highly versatile and pairs well with hot dogs, hamburgers, spareribs, seafood, fish sticks, and chicken.
For a thicker glaze, simmer the sauce for a longer period, being careful not to let it burn.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently before use.
Worcestershire sauce typically contains anchovies, so this recipe is vegetarian but not strictly vegan unless you use a vegan-friendly Worcestershire alternative.
If you don't have Galliano, you can substitute with another herbal liqueur or omit it for a more traditional barbecue flavor, though the unique citrus-herb profile will be lost.
