Lagos Yacht Club version of a Chapmans was:
Glass with Ice, add 2 fingers of Treetop Lemon squash a generous dash of Angostura Bitters and fill up with 7 Up!

I came across it at the Port Harcourt club in 1966 and it consisted of lemon squask, sprite, angostura bitters and ice. Nice to have with the lunchtime Palm Oil Chop on a humid Sunday.

I lived in Ikoyi for three years back in the mid-sixties and played tennis at the Ikoyi Club. I was introduced to the ginger beer chapman by colonial Britishers who had been there for many years. I too would like to know the Ikoyi Club recipe.

I have met the bloke who invented the drink..He is now in Australia but he used to work in Nigeria back in the day. Name's John Chapman. He just mentioned it in one of his anecdotes. I think i should've asked him for the recipe.

Adolphus, John and Joseph used to make these at the Lagos Yacht Club during the 80's and they were amazing. I'd love to know how they made them.

I grew up in Ikeja GRA Nigeria.
Ever since I was in nursery school at Grange school, the Lagos country club made a non-alcoholic and an alcohlic version of chapman.
I was born in 1958 so Im talking about many years ago.

Ingredients:

1 Shot lemon squash.
A good dash of angostura bitters.
fill up with 7up or sprite.
optional is the gin
A candy cherry with a tooth pick

and no more than that.

people would use other squashes when lemon was unavailable. (Orange or Lime)

Is there someone whom is older than me that can tell me that this recepie was made before I was in nursery school? If not it comes originally from Lagos Country Club

My very clear recollection from Kani in the mid-seventies was of a pint tankard with bitter lemon, a good dash of angostura bitters and a lot of ice. I have no real recollection of adding cucumber etc.

2011-01-15T19:14:59.165+01:00

The recipe I learned in the Sultanate of Oman is as follows:
Into a highball glass, place lots of ice. Sprinkle in two or three good shakes of Angostura bitters. Add a generous slug of lemon cordial (the sort you would normally dilute with water to make a long drink). The fill the glass with good quality ginger beer, or lemonade. Ginger beer gives the best result. This Chapman's is the BEST alcohol-free beverage ever!!

I lived in Kano for two years 1967/9 and I am sure that the Chapmans we used to drink at the Kano Club Golf Bar was made up of Angostura Bitters coated round the glass, ice cubes, Lime cordial - (a measured lid full)and Ginger Bear. It was a very refreshing drink and was all I needed after a round of golf.

2010-07-08T14:49:46.238+01:00

This is amazing, I have been looking for this recipe for so long! I used to live in Nigeria as well, but I could never quite get the balance right. I am going to develop my own personal recipe now based on all of your suggestions :D

I used to just do half orange soda half sprite and some angustora bitters, but there is so much scope for variation here!

2010-05-30T19:21:23.333+01:00

We've picked up the recipe from our time in Nigeria, and in our family we make it with:

1 dash Angostura bitters
1 shot Rose's lime cordial
Fill the rest with Sprite/7-Up.

It seems everyone has their own recipe. :)
