½ tablespoon salt
2 cups ketchup
¼ cup tomato paste
⅓ cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring

Steps:

In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the onion, garlic, and whiskey. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until onion is translucent. Mix in the ground black pepper, salt, ketchup, tomato paste, vinegar, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and hot pepper sauce.
