Best recipe ever for Japanese Slipper : 35ml Midori - 15ml Dry Curaçao (i am using Pierre Ferrand ) 20ml fresh Lemon Juice and 7.5 fresh lime juice - Super Bomb !

Tried this with lime juice instead of lemon and it is rather good, sparkly fresh and not sugary at all

I was seen sone people has make this drink as a Margarita and just add 10ml midori for the color have you guys tried this kinda version?

During my travels in Vietnam, I asked for a different version in - as I remember correctly - in 2 Lam son bar in Saigon (Hyatt hotels).

As I am a afficionado of (dry)martinis, this version included both dry vermouth and Gin on my request and had the following mesures : 4 cl London Dry Gin, 2 cl Dry Vermouth ( I think it was Dolin), 1 cl Midori, 2 cl Cointreau, 1 cl Lime juice.

The Vermouth brought down the sweetness of the Midori and added depth, where the Gin added stiffness.

This is probably a totally different cocktail then a Japanese slipper, but I liked it !

As much as this drink sounds like it'd just be a syrupy mess, the flavours play really well together. It's like adult melon soda.

All I could taste was lemon in the even split listed 30ml each.
I adjusted down to 15ml lemon juice and it didn't really do it for me.

I can usually find some form of appeal in most drinks, but this one left me 'meh'

For me, Midori doesn’t have the character to act as main player, and this confirms it in my mind. Perfectly pleasant, but as soon as I had finished I wondered why I bothered. I like fruity cocktails as long as they’re not too sweet or not too simple. The lemon can be adjusted to deal with the sweetness, but there’s no real complexity here. 3.5 for me.

I prefer my variation with 10ml less lemon juice and served in a Nick & Nora glass.

30 ml Cointreau triple sec liqueur
30 ml Midori Melon Liqueur
20 ml Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

One for the sugar police to prohibit. Thank goodness we are all consenting adults! It’s so easy to like, a sour with all the elements working together. It’s surprising someone hasn’t done a ‘Morgenthaler’ on it.

Much better than expected. This will be one of my Sunday night "dirty drinks" to get me ready for a bad workweek.

This is one of my favourite cocktails as I love midori, and I love the sharp lemon in this. My guests described it as a lemon sherbet sweet in cocktail form.

A melon hit at first followed by quite a distinctive lemon hit later. Best served in warmer weather.

Due to me being unable to find melon liqueur anywhere in my country I went ahead and made my own (on a base of white rum). Perhaps my version ended up way different from a bottle of Midori, but this cocktail quickly became one of my favorites. Delightfully sweet and sour, reminded me of sour fruit candy.

I was just checking the recipe as have acquired a wonderful lurid bottle of Midori. Lo and behold I was making a Melon Margarita all these years, thinking it was a Japanese Slipper. Not sure I like the look of the original - too sweet.

Shouldn't a Japanese Slipper have Cointreau not Tequila? This looks like a variation
