What is cocktail sauce?
- Tomato sauce: Choose any ketchup you like! Try low or sugar-free versions with less carbohydrates.
- horseradish: Horseradish is a root that is mudded and mixed with vinegar, giving it a unique spicy kick. It is alkaline, creamy or added beets to make it sweet. We use the basic version for this recipe, but anyone can use it.
- Seasoning: Lemon juice mixes the tomato sauce and horseradish together, but for the flavor, stir some homemade Old Bay seasoning or Cajun mixture, perfect for old-fashioned shrimp boils. No Worcestershire sauce? No problem, use soy sauce or coconut amino acids instead.
- Variations: Add homemade cocktail sauce to a little mayonnaise for a creamy dip or spread if needed. Make it extra spicy and add some buffalo sauce, tabasco, sriracha, sambal or a little jalapeno sauce.
