      Chapman stands out as a beverage in the country, often enjoyed at various gatherings. This distinct cocktail, known as Chapman or shapman, is a common sight at Nigerian parties. 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.
      While there is no approved standard recipe, a Chapman drink will always include bitters, lemon, lime and cucumber.
