Shots Are Making a Comeback in New York’s Buzziest Bars

There’s a big boom in tiny drinks.

You might not notice the miniature drinks at first: a petite Pandan Colada in a stemmed cordial glass at SEA; a shimmering jello-shot square at Milady’s; an elongated shooter glass filled with crisp, pale green apple-and-Armagnac at Le Veau d’Or.

But you will notice the group receiving them—they’re the ones having the most fun.
