Transform the last bits of ketchup in your bottle into a delightful Marie Rose-style dressing with a few simple ingredients. By combining mayonnaise, chili sauce, lemon juice, and a splash of your favorite spirit, you can create a creamy and slightly spicy sauce in just minutes, all without the need for additional bowls.
This innovative Ketchup Bottle Marie Rose Sauce recipe takes only five minutes to prepare and yields about 5–6 tablespoons. To create this flavorful dressing, you will need 4–5 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of sweet vermouth, vodka, brandy, or cognac, and 1–3 tablespoons of sriracha, Tabasco, or another chili sauce, depending on your taste. Add a small squeeze of lemon juice, a pinch of flaky sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to season. Make sure your nearly empty ketchup bottle contains about 1–2 tablespoons of ketchup to begin.
Start by leaving the remaining ketchup in the bottle and ensure there is enough space to incorporate the other ingredients. Add the mayonnaise, selected spirit, chili sauce, and lemon juice directly into the bottle. Secure the lid tightly and shake the bottle vigorously, ensuring all components blend together smoothly into a creamy sauce. Taste the dressing and make any necessary adjustments—more chili sauce for heat, lemon juice for acidity, or mayonnaise for a milder taste.
Once the sauce is ready, you can easily squeeze it from the bottle to enhance your dishes. Consider sprinkling a bit of paprika on top for added color and flavor, if desired. This versatile sauce pairs beautifully with prawns, avocado, lettuce, and cucumber in a classic-style prawn cocktail. Additionally, it can be drizzled over burgers, salads, roasted vegetables, or crispy avocado fries for a flavorful twist.
This recipe is particularly useful for those moments when you have a small amount of ketchup left in the bottle. Rather than discarding it, you can transform it into a new and exciting dressing, adding a fresh element to your meals.
