How are you all doing?
Sorry for the late posting.
Have been very very busy lately.
Today i will be teaching you how to make Chapman drink.
So let get started.
Chapman is a easy cocktail drink with a sweet blend of fruity flavours.
Ingredients needed:
1. 1/2 cup of Grenadine syrup,
2. A few dash of Angostrua aromatic bitters,
3. 35cl fanta orange,
4. 35cl Sprite,
5. 1/2 Orange,
6. 1/2 lemon,
7. Ice cubes.
Optional ingredients:
1. Ribena 'tm, Black currant to garnish,
Fell free to add any citrus and others fruits of your choices: Cucumber, Strawberry, Orange, Lemon, Lime, even Bananas, that is what i used, 1/2 orange,
1/2 lemon,
1/2 cucumber.
Notes on the ingredients and alternatives:
1. Gernadine syrup gives the drink its classic red colour you can buy this at your local supermarket or on Amazon websites.
If you can't find Gernadine syrup, you can used red currant (extract the juice) or pomegranate but these don't give the drink the same taste.
2. Ribena concentrated black current adds to the red colour and gives the drink a sweetened taste but it is optional, concentrated ribena black current is available in Nigeria and your local supermarket anywhere in the world.
3. You can make your ice cubes with a mixture of the fanta and the sprite, this is so that your drink does not go flat as in the case when the ice cubes are made with water.
4. Even though the Nigeria Chapman contains a very small quantity of alcohol, i know there are those who will like to make a version that does not contain any trace of alcohol, if you want to make that you can skip the Angoustra Bitters, but i warn you the Chapman will not be the same without Angoustra Bitters.
5. Thinking of others recipe you can use for the remaining Angostura Bitters for?
You can use it in cookies, cakes, ice cream, salads, and others cocktails drinks or you can just keep it and use it in making of Chapman, it does not expire in a hurry.
6. You can buy Angostura Bitters from all foods and beverages shops any where in the world, also in your local supermarkets, Amazon Websites.
Before making the Chapman.
1. Make the ice cubes either the water or a mixture of the fruits and the sprite.
2. Make sure the Grenadine syrup, fanta and spite are chilling in the fridge.
3. Cut the orange and the lemon into two equal parts each then cut one half of each onto thin quarters, reserved the other halves for squeezing into the drinks.
Instructions on making the Chapman Cocktail Drinks:
1. Put a few ice cubes in the mug,
2. Add half cup of the Grenadine syrup, this should be about one third of the dimpled mug.
3. Add few dashes of Angostura Bitters (to your taste).
4. Add a squeeze of oranges and lemon each.
5. Share the fanta equally between the two mugs, do the same for the sprite, remember to leave some space because the garnishing will take up their own volume.
6. Add your sliced garnishings: cucumber, orange, and lemons, this list goes on and on, some may add bananas to theirs, it depends on your choice.
7. Top off with Ribena black currant if you want it.
8. Stir with the straws and it is ready for drinking.
9. Enjoy your Chapman drink in a warm sunny day or any special occasion with any snack of your choice.
