Perfectly creamy and tangy, this Homemade Cocktail Sauce will be your new go-to for your seafood favourites.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 1 cup (250 g) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • ⅔ cup (160 g) whole-egg mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup (60 g) ketchup
  • 1 tbsp horseradish cream (see note 1)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Dash of Tabasco (optional)
  • Sea salt flakes, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish cream, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco (if using) in a bowl. Stir well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  2. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt or more Tabasco, if desired.
  3. Serve immediately or store in the fridge until needed.

Notes

Note 1 – Horseradish cream has a very mild spice when eaten on its own, but when mixed with the other ingredients, the spice is completely diluted (my children can’t taste it at all). You can however substitute it with dijon mustard for a milder taste, if you prefer.

 

Make Ahead

This cocktail sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance. Store it in the fridge in an airtight container to let the flavours meld beautifully.

Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving.
