About the Japanese Slipper

Bartender Jean-Paul Bourguignon created the Japanese Slipper in 1984.

Missing something?

  • No Triple Sec? Use Grand Marnier (Richer and cognac-based, with less bright orange)
  • No Triple Sec? Use Blue Curaçao (Same flavour, but turns the drink blue)
  • No Lemon Juice? Use Lemon (Squeeze fresh: 1 lemon gives about 30 ml)
  • No Lemon Juice? Use Lime Juice (Sharper, different aroma)
