Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by flipping them over, inserting your thumb under the membrane, and pulling it off.

Trim the thinner edge of the ribs to ensure even cooking.

Place the ribs in a tub and cover them with 3 bottles of Mexican Coca-Cola, ensuring they are submerged.

Marinate the ribs in the fridge for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Remove the ribs from the marinade and let them drain.

Dry the ribs thoroughly before seasoning them.

Season the bone side of the ribs lightly with all-purpose barbecue rub, then flip and season the meat side.

Put the ribs back in the tub after seasoning.

Preheat the Big Green Egg to 275°F for indirect heat.

Place the ribs on the grate, bone side down, and cook for about 2 and a half hours, spritzing them with Coca-Cola every 30 minutes.

Prepare the Jack and Coke sauce by combining about half a bottle of Coca-Cola, 2 oz of Jack Daniels, 1 cup of ketchup, 1/4 cup of pineapple juice, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, crushed red pepper, and more all-purpose rub in a pot.

Bring the sauce to a low boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 20-25 minutes until thick and syrupy.

Remove the sauce from heat once it has reduced to the desired consistency.
