Contrary to its name, the Japanese Slipper was originally concocted in Melbourne, Australia at Mietta's Restaurant in 1984. The drink is a citrusy melon cocktail, a perfect mix of sweet and tart, ideal as a before-dinner beverage.
The origin of its name is unknown, but speculations guess it's because Midori (a main ingredient) is the Japanese word for green, and slipper may represent the simple yet elegant way it's served.
