While baseball is traditionally associated with beer, Japan's Tokyo Confidential crafted a sophisticated cocktail menu that pays homage to the sport with refined, baseball-inspired cocktails.
On the drinks list, there's a Highball-style Katsuo Isono, made with gin, myoga, lychee, agricole rum and ponzu, as well as a savory Glizztini that captures the essence of the quintessential game-day hot dog in beverage form. This drink is also prepared with gin and it plays with mugi shochu, tomato, mezcal, onion brine and MSG, plus red and yellow cacao butter drizzled as a garnish to represent ketchup and mustard.
To accompany the baseball-inspired cocktail menu titled Second Base, Tokyo Confidential paired the list with collectible baseball cards and special edition jerseys. Soon, baseball-inspired snacks will also be served to elevate the themed drinking experience.
