Combine Ketchup And Horseradish:

In a mixing bowl, start by adding 1 cup of ketchup.

Gradually stir in 2 tablespoons of prepared horseradish. Adjust the horseradish to your preferred level of spiciness.

Add Flavorful Ingredients:

Squeeze in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice for a zesty kick.

Incorporate 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce to enhance the depth of flavor.

For that signature St. Elmo’s heat, add 1/2 teaspoon of hot sauce. To fit your tolerance for spice, adjust the amount.

Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper for a peppery punch.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of celery salt for a subtle, savory note.

Lastly, include 1/4 teaspoon of paprika for a touch of smokiness.

Mix Thoroughly:

Use a whisk to blend all the ingredients until the sauce combines well and has a uniform texture.

Refrigerate And Serve:

Transfer the St. Elmo’s Cocktail Sauce to an airtight container.

To enable the flavors to mingle, refrigerate for at least half an hour before serving.

Serve chilled as a dipping sauce alongside your favorite seafood dishes.
