For a deeper, smokier flavor profile, consider adding 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika to the mix. Adjust the cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spice. For a milder rub, reduce the amount by half, or omit it altogether. When applying the rub to the brisket, ensure an even coating on all sides for consistent flavor development during cooking.
