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.

Probably far superior to actual midori, which is just confectionary.

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

Interested to see what the Tequilas like :-) you'll have to name it something like Japanese Slipper sbagliato

Thanks for bringing to my attention. I also note that we need to replace photo which has a salt rim. Our previous version was indeed a Margarita-like variation.
