Cackalacky Cheerwine Sweet BBQ Sauce — 16 oz Cherry BBQ Glaze & Marinade with Southern Spice

Cackalacky Cheerwine Sweet BBQ Sauce is a 16-ounce cherry-flavored gourmet barbecue sauce that blends Cheerwine syrup with Cackalacky's signature spice for a sweet, tangy glaze, marinade, or dip.

This limited-release collaboration marries two iconic Carolina flavors: the bright cherry notes of Cheerwine and the bold, savory heat Cackalacky is known for. Bottled in a convenient 16 oz size, this sauce is designed to brighten grilled meats, enliven sandwiches, and serve as a distinctive dipping companion. It's made with thoughtfully selected ingredients and created to celebrate regional taste while fitting easily into everyday cooking.

What makes this sauce taste different from other BBQ sauces?

The defining characteristic is the addition of Cheerwine syrup, which provides clear cherry sweetness and a subtle cola-like depth that balances Cackalacky's spice profile. The result is a layered flavor experience that moves from sweet to tangy with a warm savory finish.

• Cherry-forward sweetness from Cheerwine syrup
• Balanced acidity to cut through fatty cuts
• Seasoned with Cackalacky's blend of spices for a Southern kick

How should I use Cackalacky Cheerwine Sweet BBQ Sauce when grilling?

Use it as a glaze during the final minutes of cooking to build a glossy, flavored crust, or brush it on repeatedly for layered caramelization. It also works well as a finishing sauce off the heat to preserve the cherry brightness.

• Brush on ribs or chicken in last 5–10 minutes of grill time
• Marinate pork or tofu for 1–4 hours for infused flavor
• Serve warm as a dip for wings, fries, and smoked meats

Can I use this sauce beyond the grill—like in marinades or recipes?

Absolutely. The sticky-sweet texture and aromatic fruit notes make it ideal for wet marinades, sandwich spreads, or mixed into baked beans and slow-cooker dishes for extra complexity. Because it balances sweet, tangy, and savory elements, it's a versatile ingredient across cooking methods.

• Mix with mustard or mayo for a cherry BBQ sandwich spread
• Stir into pulled pork, baked beans, or meatloaf for depth
• Combine with oil and vinegar for a bold salad dressing or glaze

How does the ingredient quality and origin influence the product?

Cackalacky and Cheerwine emphasize regional craftsmanship: this sauce uses recognizable, quality components and is proudly produced in North Carolina. That local provenance supports small-batch attention to flavor while celebrating two Carolina staples.

• Made with Cheerwine syrup for authentic cherry flavor
• Prepared with natural ingredients and spices
• Proudly made in North Carolina by regional brands
