The BEST sauce ever! I did a low coutry boil for 8 and everyone wanted the recipe!! I will never use store bought ever. And best of all--I always have these ingredients on hand. I used Tulkof Extra Hot horseradish. DELISH!!!

This recipe was awesome. I didn't measure anything and just winged it. I'm sure I was close except for that I know I put in a little extra lemon juice and extra brown sugar. And I tossed in a dash of Worcestershire on the last batch which gave it a little extra flavor. DON'T substitute dried horseradish powder for raw or jarred horseradish. It doesn't turn out the same. In fact, it doesn't turn out at all.

I did not have horseradish so I substituted that with about a tablespoon of A1 steak sauce and about a 1/4 teaspoon of ceyanne pepper. It runed out great. My boyfriend loved it, as did I. I will definitely be making this again for our shrimp and other finger foods.

Grat sauce, tastes just like my favorite bottled sauce. I like that there is not a ton of ingredients like some of the other sauces. Fantastic!

This is simply the best cocktail sauce that I have ever tasted. I used prepared horseradish versus grating the fresh stuff and it is just awesome.

Made this for a shrimp boil and everyone raved about it! Followed the recipe exactly and the only thing we'd do different next time is add a bit more horseradish for more of a bite, but that is a personal preference.

very yummy - we were looking for an easy cocktail sauce where we didn't have to run to the store and this was the winner - i put in more lemon juice, but otherwise made as directed.

An excellent, traditional cocktail sauce. It has more horseradish bite than most store bought sauces and is less sweet. This is a definate improvement in my book!

Fantastic recipe. Sometimes I kick it up a little by adding a tbs of tequila like the tequila cocktail sauce recipe from this site as well. Depends if I have some in the house and who my crowd is.

I agree, you can't go wrong with this sauce. Easy to make and stores well in a freezer for future parties. I made a huge batch, froze a bunch and used at a second party. It was better the second time around.

Crazy good! And so simple! Previously, my husband only liked 1 brand of jar sauce-- and then my local market stopped carrying it. I tried every other market in my area, but no luck-- so I decided to try to make my own. But even better than that, I made Al's :) I confess that I reduced the amount of horseradish b/c hubby doesn't love the kick as much as I do-- so I reduced it for him, divided the batch in half, and then added more to mine :) Thanks Al-- I need never buy cocktail sauce again!

What an amazing little cocktail sauce! Absolutely delicious---the tang of the lemon and the sweetness of the brown sugar really give it that "something extra." This is my new go-to cocktail sauce, and what I will serve with our cocktail shrimp at dinner tonight :). Thanks for the recipe!

I did have fresh horseradish but I think the jarred stuff that some people used might actually be better in this for textural reasons and because you MUST make this! So if the only reason you don't is because of the horseradish don't worry.
