Cocktail Colin says:
The Japanese Slipper is a delightful concoction that artfully balances the melon's lush sweetness with the zesty sharpness of lemon juice, countered by Triple Sec's smooth citrus undertone. Not only visually appealing with its bright, inviting color, but its taste also offers a refreshing tartness that complements its subtle alcohol warmth, making it an ideal aperitif.

FAQ's
What is the origin of the Japanese Slipper cocktail?
The Japanese Slipper was created in 1984 by Jean-Paul Bourguignon at Mietta's Restaurant in Melbourne, Australia. It quickly became popular for its sweet, citrus flavor and vibrant green color.
Why is it called a Japanese Slipper?
The name 'Japanese Slipper' is thought to be inspired by the cocktail's bright green color, reminiscent of Japanese fashion and design, particularly the traditional footwear. It does not, however, have any specific ingredients from Japan.
Can I make a Japanese Slipper without alcohol?
Yes, a non-alcoholic version of the Japanese Slipper can be made by substituting the alcoholic ingredients with non-alcoholic Triple Sec and melon syrup. Lemon juice remains the same. However, this will alter the taste and alcohol content significantly.
What is the best way to serve a Japanese Slipper?
The best way to serve a Japanese Slipper is chilled in a cocktail glass. It should be shaken well with ice and then strained into the glass to ensure it is cold and has a smooth texture. Garnishing with a maraschino cherry or a slice of lemon can add to its appeal.
How does the alcohol content in a Japanese Slipper compare to other cocktails?
With an alcohol content of around 20%, the Japanese Slipper is considered to have a moderate strength in comparison to other cocktails. Many classic cocktails have higher alcohol content, whereas fruity or longer drinks often have lower alcohol content. It's suitable for those who enjoy a balanced cocktail that is neither too strong nor too weak.
