[4] 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.
Chapman is probably Nigeria's most famous and favourite drink and it is served in many bars, clubs, restaurants and special occasions in the country and is increasing in popularity across West Africa.
Unlike its non-alcoholic counterpart, mocktail, Chapman falls into the cocktail category due to the inclusion of Angostura aromatic bitters.
Comprising carbonated orange and lemon or lime drinks, grenadine syrup, fruit juice, ice cubes, and other garnishes, this unique concoction is a highlight at many events.
[6] While there is no approved standard recipe, a Chapman drink will always include bitters, lemon, lime and cucumber.
