Vinegar Strokes is the stage name of Daniel Jacob, who placed 8th on Season 1 of "RuPaul's Drag Race UK".

Name Origin

"The origins of my name came about with me putting makeup on for the first time and sending a picture to my best friend, who replied with: "Alright Vinegar Tits", and I were like: "Vinegar? That is a hot name." I wasn’t sure about ‘tits’, so I went on the internet and Vinegar Strokes popped up and I thought that’s my name!" Vinegar Strokes explain about her drag name on a ITW.
