How to Make Kicked Up Cocktail Sauce

  1. Finely chop the red onion, garlic, and jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the ketchup, mayonnaise, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, and hot sauce.
  3. Add the chopped red onion, garlic, and jalapeño.
  4. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed – add more hot sauce for extra heat, or more lime juice for extra zing!
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving. This step is optional but recommended for best results.
