He may have followed in his famous bartender brother’s footsteps, but Daniel Schofield is making a name for himself on his own merits. Schofield kicked off his bartending career as a barback at Jake’s Bar in Leeds, UK before moving to Paris to work at Little Red Door, the famous cocktail bar in the French capital. He is now back in his homeland as assistant bar manager at Coupette in London, which recently made it to the 18th slot in the list of World’s 50 Best Bars.
