Homemade Cocktail Sauce
You only need 5 ingredients and 5 minutes to make this easy homemade cocktail sauce! Serve with shrimp cocktail, seafood, or mozzarella sticks!
Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice about 1/2 small lemon, juiced, fresh
- 1 tablespoon horseradish add more to taste for more spice, prepared
- 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
- 1 dash Tabasco sauce (or your favorite hot sauce)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Use a small whisk to mix well.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. The longer you let the sauce rest, the better the flavors will meld (I like to let it rest at least 2-3 hours, ideally overnight).
- Serve with shrimp or your favorite seafood dish. Also great with mozzarella sticks!
Notes
- Make sure to use PREPARED horseradish, not horseradish root.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
- Add some lemon zest to give your cocktail sauce even more zing!
