Now, a new crop of drink shakers at bars in NYC are giving spirited proof to vodka's bona fides with creative ingredients and newfangled presentations, dispelling the much-perpetuated myth that the clear spirit is flavorless and dull. From an Asian punch sipper to a Chemex-dripped Bloody Mary, these are the best cocktails with vodka in New York.
