Homemade Cocktail Sauce Recipe
Description
The recipe mixes ketchup with lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and horseradish, balancing sweet, sour, and pungent flavors to create a classic cocktail sauce. Adjusting the horseradish and hot sauce levels allows tailoring the heat intensity. Optionally, a seasoning blend like Stone House seasoning can add extra complexity.
This sauce is commonly paired with shrimp and other seafood, contributing bright acidity and a peppery kick that complements the natural flavors. It is best kept refrigerated and served cold.
Proper storage in an airtight container preserves the sauce's freshness for up to six months in the refrigerator, and it can also be frozen for longer storage. Stir well before serving if ingredients separate during storage.
Ingredients
- 2 cups ketchup
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons horseradish adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon seasoning mix Optional, to taste, Stone House brand
- hot sauce Optional, to taste
Instructions
- Add the ketchup, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce (or coconut aminos), and horseradish to a bowl. Mix together until they are well combined. Taste and add more horseradish or hot sauce as desired. Add the Stone House Seasoning if you believe it is needed as well.

Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 months, stirring before serving if ingredients settle.
- Make ahead and refrigerate or cover if serving within a couple of days.
- Freeze in a freezer-safe container for 6 to 12 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator and stir before use.
