Within the first year of opening, Coupette rapidly gained industry recognition picking up accolades such as; ‘Best New Bar Of The Year’ & ‘Cocktail of The Year’ at the esteemed Class Bar Awards 2018, along with Daniel himself being nominated for ‘Bartender of The Year’. In July 2018, Coupette was awarded ‘Best New International Bar’ at the prestigious Spirited Awards at Tales of The Cocktail and ‘Best New Opening’ at World’s 50 Best Bars.

Daniel’s career started off 10 years ago in a high-volume cocktail bar in Spain whilst on summer break from university where he studied Media & Events management. Once back in England Daniel pursued his passion and rapidly expanded his skillset working in some of the best bars in the North of England covering all bases from classic cocktail bars to tiki bars. With a desire to progress and continue learning, he accepted a job offer from Little Red Door (currently ranked #33 at Worlds 50 Best Bars) in Paris in 2014 and spent the next year further developing his skills.
After a career defining year in Paris, Daniel took on a role as Head Bartender at The Bar With No Name, 69 Colebrooke Row in London. Under the watchful eye of some of the world’s best bartenders, Daniel progressed to learn a new style of cocktail making using advanced techniques at world famous creative space Drink Factory.
Recently, with his brother Joe Schofield (a multi-award-winning bartender), the two have brought SCHOFIELD’S Dry Vermouth to market with Asterley Bros., an English based aperitif and Vermouth brand.
