Ingredients Needed:

• 200ml/⅓ pint mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper, plus extra to serve
• dash Tabasco
• dash Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsp brandy
• Squeeze lemon juice, to taste.
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

How To Make Marie Rose Sauce Recipe?

1. Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, cayenne pepper, Tabasco, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
2. Add flavor: Stir in the brandy and a squeeze of lemon juice, adjusting to your taste.
3. Season and serve: Add salt and black pepper to taste, then transfer to a bowl. Sprinkle extra cayenne on top for a finishing touch.

Recipe Tips:

• Use good-quality mayonnaise: The taste of the sauce depends on the mayonnaise, so choose a rich and creamy one for the best flavor.
• Whisk until smooth: Mix well to get a silky texture with no lumps. A fork or small whisk works best.
• Balance the flavors: Taste the sauce before serving. Add more lemon juice for freshness or more brandy for depth.
• Chill before serving: Letting the sauce rest in the fridge for 15–20 minutes helps the flavors blend better.
• Don’t overdo the spice: Add cayenne and Tabasco gradually to control the heat and avoid overpowering the sauce.

How To Store Leftovers?

Let the Marie Rose Sauce sit at room temperature until it is no longer cold from mixing. Transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir well before using.
