Horseradish Cocktail Sauce

A perfect blend of sauces and spices to make a delicious horseradish cocktail sauce. Fresh, easy, and perfect for shrimp cocktail.

This easy cocktail recipe was created by my dad! During the holidays my family likes to eat shrimp cocktails and he loved to make his homemade sauce to go with it. This sauce has so much flavor that I will just eat it with crackers too!

I believe every time he made it was a bit different, since he never measured anything out. I think we finally nailed it down with the amounts he put in there because this tastes amazing!

This cocktail sauce uses simple ingredients, so it is so very easy to make, and only takes a couple minutes to whip it together!
