A Chapman is a non-alcoholic drink, usually red in colour. Often referred to as a non-alcoholic punch, it is traditionally made with a mix of Fanta, Sprite, Cucumber, Lemon, Grenadine and Angostura bitters and is traditionally served in a large mug with ice and a few slices of cucumber.
It is often described as Nigeria’s favourite drink and though predominantly served without alcohol, it can also be served with a hint of vodka or rum.
It is believed that the cocktail originated in Ikoyi Club, Lagos, Nigeria. The drink was created by Samuel Alamutu a bartender at the country club who was asked to make something special for his favourite customer named Chapman.
