Thank you DADDY MF LONG LEGS for stopping by the bar 🍸🐈⬛
Originally a pastry chef turned bartender, Daddy is one of those people whose presence fills every room they walk into. I’ve known them for a while now (though I honestly can’t remember how we first met), and what has always stood out to me is how unapologetically they show up as themself in every space they’re in. As a nonbinary bartender, Daddy leads with authenticity, creativity, and confidence. There isn’t one way to look, lead, or succeed behind the bar, and Daddy embodies that beautifully.
I’m basically a paid member of the Daddy Long Legz fan club at this point ❤️
DNA Daq 🧬
• 1 oz Ten To One Caribbean White Rum
• 0.5 oz Rhum J.M White Rum (80 proof)
• 0.5 oz White Crème de Cacao
• 0.25 oz Maraschino Liqueur
• 0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice
• 0.5 oz Fresh Grapefruit Juice
• 0.25 oz 1:1 Simple Syrup
Method: Shake all ingredients with ice until well chilled. Double strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a chocolate-covered cherry.
The DNA Daq is Daddy’s take on a Hemingway Daiquiri, with white crème de cacao adding subtle chocolate notes and agricole rum bringing earthy depth. Inspired by chocolate-covered grapefruit candies, Black Forest gâteau, and Kari Lavelle’s Ode to Grapefruit, it’s a cocktail that’s every bit as memorable as the bartender behind it.
If you’re new here, Pickup My Shift is a series where I invite some of my favorite bartenders to step behind my bar, share their stories, and make a cocktail that represents them.
