We're going "Old School" with some "321" Ribs, a Citrus Beer Sangria and some cool tunes to get your soiree jumping.
Crank up some Willie and pull up a lawn chair... The Pots Are On!

The Plate... 321 Ribs
Fool-Proof method for cooking some of the best "fall-off-the-bone" ribs you've ever tasted.
What you need...
2-3 racks of Baby Back or St. Louis Style ribs
2-3 sheets of foil.
1/3 cup yellow mustard 1/2 cup Apple Juice
1/3 cup honey
Your favorite dry rub (we used Tony Charchere)
Your favorite BBQ sauce (we used Stubb's Sweet Heat)
Large pieces of Mesquite wood chunks
What you do...
First, remove the thin silverskin membrane from the bone-side of the ribs with a sharp knife.
Soak the wood for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
Rub the ribs, all over, with the dry rub, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Set your grill to 225 degrees indirect heat.
Place ribs on grill "meat side" up and cook for 3 hours.
Take the ribs off the grill and lay them each on a separate sheet of foil "meat side down".
Pour the apple juice over each of the ribs and wrap tightly in the foil.
Put back on the grill "meat side down" and cook for 2 hours.
Carefully remove the foil from the ribs and brush the ribs on both sides with BBQ sauce.
Return to grill for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Take ribs off grill, let them rest.
Serve em up and enjoy the praise!
