History

Created in 1984 by Jean-Paul Bourguignon in Melbourne, the Japanese Slipper blends melon, citrus, and orange liqueur for a sweet, bright cocktail. Inspired by the Pegu Club, it offers a slightly sour and bittersweet profile with a playful green hue. This cocktail reflects the inventive spirit of the 1980s and remains a charming, approachable classic.
