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: electric, charcoal, or pellet. My current main go-to smoker is my Pit Boss Pro 1100; I cook low and slow 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.

How To Make Coca-Cola And Jack Daniels Smoked Brisket Injection:
Trim some of the fat off your Brisket. I 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 can 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.
Use an metal meat injector to inject the brisket with the marinade.
After you have injected the meat sprinkle the whole brisket with a dry rub, I used Pitboss Beef And Brisket with ground black pepper. I didn’t coat it too heavy, just enough to give the whole Brisket a covering.
I put my brisket in a large Rubbermaid Container, but a roasting pan would also work well. You will want to have it be an air tight container.
Store in the fridge overnight to allow the injection to tenderize the meat and the rub to marinate it.
Remove from the fridge a couple of hours before being ready to smoke to allow the brisket to come up to room temperature.
How To Smoke Coca-Cola 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 with loaded mashed potatoes and bacon with asparagus. (I skipped gravy on the potatoes.

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 and divide them into serving sizes.
