We smoked two briskets the other day and marinated one in orange juice and the other in beer. The OJ one was excellent, the beer one was only OK but not terrific.
I have also used dry rubs with good success. I bought one at Williams Sonoma that I really liked but I think it was only black pepper, mustard, garlic, salt, and 1-2 other things. It would have been very easy to make at home, but I was rushed so I just bought it. It worked great.
