Ingredient Notes
To ensure your keto cocktail sauce is sugar-free, opt for a no-sugar ketchup. We recommend the Primal Kitchen brand. Here are the key ingredients:
- Ketchup: Make sure to use a no-sugar variety like Primal Kitchen.
- Horseradish sauce: Again, choose a sugar-free version or make your own homemade sauce.
- Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed for a tangy kick.
- Hot sauce
- Worcestershire sauce: Optional, but it adds a fantastic flavor element. The small amount of sugar in Worcestershire sauce used in this recipe does not contribute any significant sugar content to the cocktail sauce.
