Dang, you need to stock up your pantry.
That recipe sounds more like tartar sauce to me. Not that there's
anything wrong with that, but it doesn't sound like what I think
of as cocktail sauce.
I only use cocktail sauce when I bring shrimp to holiday dinners,
so I buy my favorite brand, Kelchner's. Very tasty and you know
it's got horseradish in it.
