Empire Merchants partnership brings locally crafted, eco-conscious spirits to bars, restaurants, and retailers across the Empire State.


Aug. 18, 2025 / PRZen / KING FERRY, N.Y. -- New York–born spirit brands, MOO Vodka and Cayuga Clear, are proud to announce a new distribution partnership with Empire Merchants (downstate) and Empire Merchants North (upstate). This partnership marks the first time both brands will enjoy complete statewide coverage across New York, ensuring that New Yorkers from Montauk to Buffalo can now raise a glass of spirits made in their own backyard.

Rooted in sustainability and New York heritage, MOO and Cayuga Clear embody the state's innovative spirit.
  • MOO Vodka – Distilled in New York from upcycled whey, MOO Vodka transforms what would otherwise be a by-product of dairy production into a smooth, premium vodka. This innovative process reduces waste while delivering an exceptional drinking experience. With the tagline "Drinking responsibly has a whole new meaning," MOO Vodka stands at the intersection of craft, sustainability, and taste.
  • Cayuga Clear Spirits – Known as "The Clear Choice," Cayuga Clear is produced in New York and offers a complete line of vodkas, gin, cordials, and neutral spirits. Bottled in glass and made with sustainable practices, Cayuga Clear represents both quality and value, making it a perfect fit for bars, restaurants, and liquor stores statewide.

"This is a proud moment for us," said Eduard Zaydman, COO of Cayuga Ingredients. "New Yorkers care deeply about where their products come from and how they're made. With MOO and Cayuga Clear, they can choose spirits that are truly homegrown, with sustainability at their core."

New Yorkers can now ask for MOO Vodka and Cayuga Clear at their favorite bars, restaurants, and liquor stores across the state. Accounts interested in carrying the brands can order directly through their Empire Merchants or Empire Merchants North sales representatives or online at https://www.empire360.com
