This was delicious! I scaled the recipe down, but made no changes otherwise. Really simple to make and great balance of flavors. I will def be making this again~YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)

made it! loved it! only change i didnt add any lemon juice and it tasted fine without. Never buy bottled sauce again

Tasty, easy to make. It makes way way more than the serving size suggested though; it might be best to simply cut the recipe in half.

Outstanding. Easy to make and tastes alot better than any bottled cocktail sauce. I won't be buying anymore bottled stuff.

It's delicious. I added just a bit more horseradish, it's definitely the most delicious cocktail sauce I've had--I plan on making regularly. Thank you CDSN99 for an amazingly good recipe!

Swap out the steak sauce for Chili Sauce. Even better!

Really good! I cut down the recipe to just make what we needed for now, and winged it on the amounts (just adding everything to taste) since we don't use cocktail sauce all that often. I didn't have any horseradish so I used some Deli style mustard (one that is spicy and has horseradish in it - Boar's Head). I also added some celery salt to taste and used a healthy squirt of Sriracha for the hot sauce. Tastes great - just enough spice and kick and all the flavors are just right!

I'm not one of these people who changes absolutely everything and then gives a rating based on my concoction rather than the original recipe. This cocktail sauce is GREAT just as written! Lots of things depend on personal taste and cocktail sauce is one of them so I made a couple of changes to suit MY taste but as I said, it's definitely five stars as written). I couldn't find a 36 oz bottle of ketchup, 32 was as close as I could come so I used that, but didn't make any adjustments to the recipe. After tasting it I decided it needed a little more horseradish for my taste so I added an extra tablespoon. I used A-1 steak sauce and Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce and Louisiana Hot Sauce (15 drops per the recipe, which gives it a pretty good kick along with the extra horseradish I added. Play with the hot sauce until you reach the temperature you like. Thanks, Craig for a great cocktail sauce recipe.

Great stuff. I won't be disappointed by store-bought sauce again since, like others, I won't be buying any.

No more store bought for me. Wanted it to go with shrimp for family party. Great flavor, I did cut the recipe in 1/4 because made as is it makes alot for just dripping your shrimp in.
