History
A Japanese slipper is a drink made from Midori, Cointreau, and lemon juice. It was created in 1984 by Jean-Paul Bourguignon at Mietta’s Restaurant in Melbourne. This is one of the most popular signature cocktails for Midori, that magical, electric green liqueur that offers the sweet taste of melons.
