Coca Cola And Jack Daniels Smoked Brisket Recipe

This Coca-Cola And Jack Daniels Smoked Brisket Recipe is my latest brisket creation! I love to use Coca-Cola for grilling and smoking, so brisket was the next logical one to try out.  Brisket is one of those meats I also make amazing meals from leftovers.

You can do this in any type of smoker: eclectic, charcoal, or pellet.  My current main go-to smoker is my   Pit Boss Pro 1100; cooking low and slow is how I cook with it.   I picked up my Pitboss at Lowes, but Walmart and Amazon carry other Pit Boss options or the Pit Boss website themselves, I love the cost of them vs other pellet grills.

Coca Cola And Jack Daniels Smoked Brisket Recipe Ingredients:

Coca-Cola-You can change this up with any dark soda, Diet Coke, Root Beer, Dr. Pepper, or Coke Zero. The soda flavor will slightly alter the taste, but it will work.

Beef Broth

Jack Daniels

Worcestershire Sauce

Garlic Powder 

Metal Injector

Coca-Cola And Jack Daniels Smoked Brisket Dry Rub Ingredients: 

Pitboss Brisket Rub

Olive Oil

Pepper   

Where to buy a Beef Brisket:

• Costco
• Local Butcher
• Grocery Store
• Snake River Farms
• Omaha Steaks

How To Make Coca-Cola And Jack Daniels Smoked Brisket Injection:

Trim some of the fat off of your Brisket I do leave most of the fat on the bottom to allow that to help keep the meat juicy.  I had a 15lb Brisket this time, you order one from Snake River Farms or Omaha Steaks if you can’t find brisket locally.  

Since I use Better Than Beef Bouillon my beef broth was a bit warm still so the powders dissolved fast!

In a bowl or Pyrex glass measuring cup mix the beef broth, Jack Daniels, Coca-Cola, Worcestershire Sauce, and Garlic Powder. 

How To Smoke Coca-Cola And Jack Daniels Smoked Brisket:

If you are using a Pit Boss set your smoke setting at P4, I started mine at 8 am in the morning with the smoke setting.  For pellets, I used a Fruit Blend, but this would also be good with Mesquite pellets.   

Money and time-saving tips from the old lady. If you order pellets online from Walmart and spend $35, they will drop them off at your door for free!! Their everyday price on pit boss pellets is amazing, plus the expert grill brand has a great price. (see them ->here)

Turn up your smoker to 200 degrees 3 hours later, you can use a basting mop to mop your brisket more with Coca-Cola.

4 hours later I turned the heat up to 225 for an hour and a half and then removed the brisket.

Allow to rest and then slice and serve!

I paired mine up with loaded mashed potatoes and bacon with asparagus.

How To Store Leftover Smoked Brisket

Store in an air-tight container for up to three days in the fridge.

You can freeze smoked brisket in an air-tight container or sealed bag for up to three months.

Storing leftovers properly requires the right tools! My preferred storage method is if the leftovers can be sealed in a food saver. If not, then an air-tight container or Ziploc bag for the fridge is the way I go. The air-tight container and a freezer Ziploc bag are the next best bet for freezing the leftovers. I also use a food scale to measure portions into serving sizes.
