Root Beer and Molasses Marinade
This Root Beer and Molasses Marinade is a game-changer for anyone looking to take their grilling game to the next level. The sweetness of the root beer and the robust, smoky flavor of the molasses provide a one-two punch of flavor. Especially ideal for pork and chicken, this marinade will certainly make your BBQ a memorable one. Root beer has actually been used in cooking since its creation in the late 19th century, and this recipe pays homage to that culinary history, adding a modern twist with the use of molasses.
