St. Elmo Cocktail Sauce, Extra Spicy Seafood Sauce and Cocktail Sauce for Shrimp, World Famous 8 Fl Oz (2 Pack)

This is a sauce that is very hot and very good to my taste. You really need to like hot for this product.

St Elmo "wow" this sauce is amazingly good

St. Elmo's is my favorite restaurant and this cocktail sauce is for those of us who love it hot. I add it to bean soup (at my waiters suggestion) and it changes the whole dish. LOVE THIS SAUCE!

Many years ago we had dinner at St Elmo's Steakhouse. Naturally we ordered the shrimp cocktail. The shrimp were buried in the glass and we ste them covered in cocktail sauce. All of a sudden it hit us and wow, what a kick. Had to dtop and catch our breath. Saw people trying to taste it with no reaction on the food channel and they failed. I went on their site and ordered some. It did not disappoint.

The sauce is fantastic and I had to get some after going to St Elmo‘s for the third time. I don’t get to Indianapolis enough. But when I do, I always stop at St Elmo‘s. Warning though, if you’re a rookie and you’ve never had it before go easy and work up to a bigger bite.

For those of you who downgrade it for its intensity ... a little education is in order. St Elmo's is a steak house in Indianapolis which is famous for this shrimp cocktail ... the entire purpose is to be mind-numbingly intense ... an experience that will give you tingles in parts of your brain that you had no clue were there ... clearly you will believe that you will *never* have to invest in sinus medicine for as long as you live. In this restaurant, if you take a bite and NOT think your ears are on fire ... you might reasonably demand your money back : THAT'S THE POINT!!!I have been trying ever since to come up with something to try to recreate that intensity at home : heat and flavor ... and could not do it. When a friend brought me a bottle ... I was sorely disappointed - for whatever reason that bottle had next to nothing intensity (I didn't check the expiration date). When I saw it on Amazon ... I figured what the heck ... maybe the one he brought was bad ... and I am glad that I did!!!The bottled stuff is not necessarily as intense as the stuff at the restaurant ... but it is BY FAR the best rendition of shrimp cocktail I have had SINCE the restaurant. When I got it ... I hedged my bet and bought a jar of Atomic Horseradish as well ... and when I added a bit of that to the St Elmo's, I dare say that I got about as close to the restaurant flavor as I could remember. The bottle by itself is the bomb ... adding the Atomic made it ... well, you get it!!! :-DAppended Mar2019 - Please be aware as I alluded to above, the intensity does drop off over time. I ended up buying a case and even after splitting with friends and giving some away, it took several months to use it up. The intensity drops off even in bottles that are not opened (I refrigerated all of them). It is still the best cocktail sauce flavor even after the intensity goes away, but if you are looking for that impact, its gotta be fresh.

This is my favorite cocktail sauce. I rated a star less because of the legendary spiciness and the price.. I could stir in a pinch of regular horseradishinto any cocktail sauce and it would be more spicy. I understand that most people do not desire that. Just want to counteract the lore of "extra spicy".

Amazing flavor..I've already ordered more.
