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 !
