Frequently Asked Questions About Chapman
What is Chapman?
Chapman is a popular Nigerian non-alcoholic cocktail. It is commonly made with grenadine, lemonade, orange juice and bitters, then served chilled over ice, often with fruit or cucumber as a garnish.
How do you make Chapman at home?
Mix orange juice, lemonade, grenadine and a few drops of bitters with ice to make Chapman. Pour it into a glass and garnish with orange or cucumber. Add the grenadine gradually so you can adjust the sweetness and colour.
Is Chapman alcoholic?
Chapman is generally served as a non-alcoholic cocktail. Some bitters contain alcohol, though, so use alcohol-free bitters or leave them out if you need the drink to be completely alcohol-free.
What ingredients are in a Chapman cocktail?
A typical Chapman combines grenadine, lemonade, orange juice and bitters. Recipes vary, and some include lemon- or orange-flavoured soda. The exact balance depends on how sweet, tart or fizzy you want the drink.
Where did Chapman drink originate?
Chapman is a Nigerian drink and is especially associated with restaurants and social gatherings in Nigeria. Its exact recipe is not fixed, so the version served can differ from one place or household to another.
What does Chapman taste like?
Chapman tastes sweet, fruity and lightly tart, with a subtle bitter edge. Grenadine brings sweetness, orange juice and lemonade add citrus, and bitters give the drink a more aromatic, slightly spiced finish.
Why is Chapman red?
Grenadine usually gives Chapman its red or pink colour. The shade varies with the amount of syrup and the juices used; add grenadine gradually if you want to control both the colour and sweetness.
Can you make Chapman without bitters?
Yes, you can make Chapman without bitters. The drink will lose some of its characteristic bitter, aromatic edge, but the citrus and grenadine still make a refreshing drink. A few drops of alcohol-free bitters are another option.
What is the best way to serve Chapman?
Serve Chapman cold in a tall glass over ice, with an orange or lemon slice; cucumber is also a common garnish. If the recipe includes fizzy soda, stir it in just before serving to preserve the bubbles.
Can you make Chapman ahead of time?
You can chill the juice, lemonade and grenadine mixture ahead of time, but Chapman is best finished just before serving. Add ice and any fizzy soda at the last moment, since melting ice dilutes it and the soda goes flat.

What is Chapman?
Chapman is a popular non-alcoholic mixed drink from Nigeria, usually made with grenadine, lemonade, orange juice and bitters. It is served very cold over ice, often with orange or cucumber slices, and recipes can vary from home to home or bar to bar.
Its sweet, tangy, fruity flavour and fizzy finish make it a familiar choice at Nigerian gatherings and restaurants, especially in warm weather. It also works as a lively alternative to a soft drink alongside a meal. Chapman gets most of its energy from carbohydrates and provides very little protein or fat. For a less-sweet glass, use less grenadine and lemonade, then adjust with citrus or sparkling water.
