For the purpose of this week's topic on BEVERAGES ( drinks), I will present my participation using the tips given as guideline;

Alcoholic or Non-alcoholic drinks, Which is the Best Option for you to Accompany a Meal?

Non-alcoholic drinks are the best for me to accompany with my meals. I will show the preparation procedures below for a soft refreshing non-alcoholic drink I made for my meal . This drink is called Chapman cocktail

I combined this drink with 1 main course meal ( Nigerian party jollof rice made with fish). The rice is well garnished with slices of cucumber for just a personal portion.

Why Did you Choose this Drink and Dish Combination?

Cocktail can be served with starter, main dish or dessert, it is just a chilled, refreshing and satisfying drink that can go with any combination. The lemon used in making cocktail is healthy to the body system and it helps to hinder indigestion problem which is another reason why I choose to go with this drink.

In addition, cocktail gives me happy and a sweet feeling while drinking. Everything about cocktail brings HAPPINESS especially how it is being served ( the type of cup / glass being used, the lemon and ice cubes floating inside and the straw, all are attractive).

I choose to combine this drink with jollof rice because the taste of both are pleasurable in the mouth; a sweet taste of cocktail that counters the peppery taste of party jollof rice which create a unique taste while consuming the food that is also the most pleasing to the taste buds. The feelings at some point can be indescribable.

Thank you gastronomy team for the unnumbered knowledge that you've impacted this season. I hope to learn more in future through this class.

I will invite @wirngo, @mvchain and @dequeen to join the class.
