Classic Cocktail Sauce

Difficulty: Beginner Prep Time 1 min

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Servings

1 cup Ketchup
2 tbsp Horseradish, plus more to taste
2 tsp Lemon Juice (from half a lemon), plus more to taste
1 tbsp Worchestershire Sauce
1 tsp Hot Sauce, plus more to taste

Instructions

Mix ingredients well and add additional horseradish, hot sauce or lemon to taste
Note: Sometimes cocktail sauce gels up and solidifies a bit in the fridge. Don't freak out! It is just something that has to do with how the ketchup interacts with the other ingredients and does not mean it is bad. Stir in a few drops of water and it will be good as new.
