Description: THE ORIGINAL ST. ELMO SEAFOOD COCKTAIL SAUCE Best By Date of April 21, 2025 This Cocktail Sauce Will Destroy You In The Best Way. It can't be explained...only experienced! Finally, a shrimp cocktail pairing that will clear your sinuses and keep you coming back. We are huge fans of shrimp cocktail in all of its forms, and, frankly, we hope you are too. When I'm not in the mood to cook dinner, it's almost always a shrimp-cocktail-and-salad kind of night. The only issue is that most jarred shrimp cocktail sauce isn't strong enough. I love that nearly violent sinus-clearing sensation I get from horseradish and wasabi. If you, too, are a fan of that burn and always find yourself seeking the heat, there's only one brand all horseradish lovers must know about: St. Elmo Steak House Very Spicy Shrimp Cocktail Sauce St. Elmo Steak House is a restaurant and culinary institution based in Indianapolis. While the place is known for steak, of course, it's also lauded for shrimp cocktail, the lone appetizer on its menu. The shrimp is served with searingly spicy cocktail sauce that's loaded with horseradish, and back in 2018, the restaurant was using over three tons of it per year to make St. Elmo Cocktail Sauce in-house. It turns out you don't have to visit Indianapolis to get ahold of the sauce, however. In 2012, the restaurant started bottling up the stuff and it's now available for purchase across the country. I am going to warn you, however, it can be tricky to find...actually, very hard to find! I've located it at ALDI on extremely rare occasions; it's previously been sold in Midwestern Costco locations; and I've seen it for sale at my local seafood market. • NEW SHAPE & SIZE – Enjoy the same fiery horseradish-packed cocktail sauce in an all-new 8oz jar with a wider opening, perfect for scooping and serving just the right amount! • WORLD-FAMOUS SPICY FLAVOR – Fiery. Refreshing. One of a kind. Crafted in a kitchen with over 120 years of experience, St. Elmo Cocktail Sauce is lauded around the world for its incomparable taste. It’s the hottest cocktail sauce around! • PACKED WITH HORSERADISH – Made with fresh-ground horseradish root, the dazzling taste of this cocktail sauce is unlike any other. • PAIRS PERFECTLY WITH SEAFOOD – Notes of citrus keep this sauce light, making it the ideal cocktail sauce for shrimp and other seafood. Serve it to your guests at home, send it as a gift, or simply enjoy for yourself! • STORAGE – St. Elmo Cocktail Sauce should be stored cold and not left at room temperature longer than 2-3 days or it will begin to lose spiciness. (Please see the flyer, 3rd picture,that St. Elmo placed in the shipping box) If refrigerated properly, the sauce typically has a best-by date. According to the USDA, bottled cocktail sauce can last in the fridge after it's been opened for six to nine months like ketchup. (The seller has had St. Elmo's cocktail sauce last as long as 12 months refrigerated and still tastes as good as when just purchased.) If you do find this cocktail sauce in person at retail, it'll run you about $10+, which isn't at all cheap, but, I can't stress enough just how worthwhile it is...this stuff is strong. A modest dip of a shrimp will result in a brief assault on your nasal cavities, and a full-on dunk into this sauce will bring you to your knees for about two seconds. Then, just as fast as it hits you, the sensation dissipates...talk about a rush!!! There's not a lot of other food out there that feels like such a rollercoaster ride. Made with fresh-ground horseradish root, the dazzling taste of this cocktail sauce is unlike any other. Balanced with a refreshing tomato paste and hints of lemon, the St. Elmo Cocktail Sauce shocks senses and delights the palate. Fiery. Refreshing. One of a kind. Crafted in a kitchen with 119 years of experience, St. Elmo Cocktail Sauce is lauded around the world for its incomparable taste. Loved for its unique spice and long-lasting flavor, this signature seafood sauce is unmatched.INGREDIENTSHorseradish, Distilled Vinegar, Water, Sugar, Tomato Paste, Salt, Canola Oil, Corn Starch, Natural Flavor, Xanthan Gum, Onion Powder.Nutrition FactsServing Size tablespoon (17g)Amount per servingCalories17cals% Daily ValueTotal Fat 0.1gSaturated Fat 0gTrans Fat 0gTotal Carbs 4g 1%Net Carbs 4gDietary Fiber 0g 1%Total Sugars 3gAdded Sugars 3g 6%Protein 0g 1%Cholesterol 0mgSodium 108mg 5%Calcium 6mgIron 0.3mg 1%Potassium 48mg 1%VitaminsVitamin D 0mcg (0iu)REVIEWS I love this cocktail sauce. It has the heat of horseradish that you expect in an excellent high quality cocktail sauce. I highly recommend to buyers looking for a cocktail sauce for your shrimp, oysters, claims and other seafood that St Elmo cocktail sauce is definitely worth the money.------------------------------------- If you like spicy you'll love this cocktail sauce. In fact, it's over the top so we cut it with a bit of ketchup. But it's worth it because every other brand pales in comparison. The flavor and heat are addicting.------------------------------------- Best sauce you can get it’s got a kick.------------------------------------- I'm originally from Indiana and have had the pleasure of dining at St Elmo's in Indy . The cocktail sauce is legendary in the Midwest . Its spicy hot due to the quality horseradish used heavily in the mix . Since I have had this sauce before I knew what to expect. So I was worried that being bottled and shipped would take some of the edge off. The bottled version did not disappoint. The first bite almost got me . Best horseradish cocktail sauce I have ever had. It will ruin you . After having this you don't want anybody else's watery, sweet, ketchup mix with a mild hint of horseradish touching your shrimp - its that good. Approach with caution though. Fresh out of a newly opened bottle is when it is the strongest and it will hurt you (it calms down ,with age, after being opened). It can light up your nasal passages and make you wish your head would explode just to make it stop. However, as soon as you recover your going back for more - just a little more cautiously and with a little more respect :)------------------------------------- I'm buying more ------------------------------------- This cocktail sauce blew me away with the taste, but the spicy closed my throat. Almost had to call the medic tag...ha ha. seriously, it is so hot and spicy that I had to gulp water in between dips. Made me a little upset I couldn't eat as much as I wanted because it was too hot for me. Little dips and big water gulps. Taste is amazing, though. I hope I can build my tolerance for all things hot....
