Notes
Instead of bourbon, you can use rye whiskey.
Prepared mustard is the spreadable mustard in a jar / squirter. ideally use an American-style brown mustard, but you can use really any prepared mustard that you prefer, as strong or mild as you like.
For the cayenne peppers, use any small, red chile peppers; toss them in whole.
If using as a baste, put some into a small dish and baste from there. At the end of cooking, discard any sauce that has come into contact with a brush that has touched raw meat.
