David Solmonson and Lesley Jacobs Solmonson
David and Lesley, the married couple behind The 12 Bottle Bar, know a thing or two about booze. Lesley wrote the book on gin (literally — it’s called “Gin: A Global History”), contributes her cocktail know-how to big name magazines, and serves on the Advisory Board of the Museum of the American Cocktail. David’s a screenwriter by day, and a seriously intense home mixologist by night. Together, they're a surefire source of practical advice for stocking your home bar.
