A few of my Favourite Drinks

So, I was having a conversation with a friend over the weekend and we got talking about his 5 favourite drinks that are easily available in Lagos. This got me thinking about my 5 Favourite drinks in Lagos and I've compiled a list for you to see. In no particular order:

1) Hollandia Yoghurt: At first, the Strawberry and Blackcurrant flavours were available in the market then it was just the strawberry one. I discovered the apple flavoured one at the Murtala Muhammed Airport last Month. I Love it especially the sour tang it has, I haven't tried the orange one yet but I've seen it around town. Have you tried it?

N100 in most supermarkets and grocery stores


2) Ribena Strawberry: To me, this flavour beats all the other ones hands down. I know some people swear by the Orange or Pineapple or Plain Old Blackcurrant but I Love this one especially when it's slightly frozen, that slushy like consistency.

3) Fandago: I'm not sure if this is the new name for Tampico but it tastes just like it, very similar to sunny delight in the states. I think I prefer the Citrus one to the Tropical one though.

4) Mirinda Pineapple: No need for explanation, it just tastes good.

5) Chapman: I Love the one from Ikoyi club, it's the cheapest one I've had too. I've been seeing pictures on Social media of chapman in a bottle called Smoov and it costs N100. There is one in a can too called Yoms but I haven't seen them at any stores yet. Have any of you tried them?

    1. Hollandia for the win :)
      Mango juice ain't bad but it doesn't trip me like that.
      I really like Cloudy Lemonade but haven't found the perfect one in Lagos yet

    1. Nice, we have 2 drinks in common :)
      Is H2Oh just plain old water? or it's something else?

      Delete
    2. Uhmm H2oh is a sparkling water/low calorie drink. It has little calories unlike sodas. Just water and lemon with sweetener. U can find it at shoprite. *just helping*

  6. Smoov is weird. It's like fizzy chapman. Someone I know loved it. I'd rather drink regular chapman.
