Tobacco Sno-ball.

Plum Street Sno-Balls. I was talking to a professional bartender about her recipe for a tobacco syrup-based cocktail that is taking New Orleans by storm. She wrote the recipe for me on a 3x5 rolodex card. I have it in my wallet. She wrote her phone number on the back.

555-555-5555. This bartender’s phone number is none of your business. It is between her an me, an A-B conversation. Tab A, Slot B. See yourself out the door.

Here is the recipe:
