Have any of you used Hard Cider in your Q?

I have 2 bone in Butts and 3 packer briskets to do for a party. I was in the store today, and saw some hard cider. The gears in the old brain started grinding. I figured that before I reinvented the wheel, I would ask here first. Have you ever used Hard Cider in your Q, and if you have how did it turn out?

I used some apple pie moonshine to finish my loin back ribs in foil this weekend. I mixed it with some BBq sauce. About 50-50. They turned out just the way I wanted. Sweet and spicy with a little kick.

The kick is the problem. Just remember alcohol never fully cooks out. Good thing to know for the unsuspecting guess who might be in recovery or have a food alergy. Just food for thought.

About a month ago there was a segment on Fox & Friends using hard cider on pork. You could probably find the clip on their site or you tube. I haven't done it ---yet.

Don't know about cider but I bet a lot of folks have used burbon and the like. I have basted ribs with burbon and honey with good results. I don't know why cider would not work

I've used Hard Cider on butts with good results. But as Padrefan said make sure everyone is aware of the alcohol.

I've used Jack Daniels in a few of my sauces. Turns out very well. Should be very good as a rib sauce.

I did some Reds Apple Cider Pork Chops and didn't really get a kick or any real flavor from it.
