Logan Demmy

Bartender at The Fox, Nashville, USA.

Fuelled by a lifelong love of coffee and a passion for spirits, Logan Demmy has worked around the world. He honed crafting cocktails and the art of hospitality as head bartender of the internationally respected 28 Hongkong St in Singapore. Stints in New Zealand and Columbus, Ohio, sharpened his skills.

He took a brief detour from the industry but couldn't stay away for long – so now he lives a dual life of coding and cocktails in Nashville, Tennessee. His love for bartending was renewed by The Fox – a small but mighty bar that refuelled his ambition and drove him to reach for the title of USA Patrón Perfectionist finalist.

Malic Acid plays such an important role in tequila production, (Look up crassulacean acid metabolism) apple and madeira provide ample malic acid. Champagne is going to be the body of the drink tempering all the spice of the hot chicken, the buttery malolactic brings it all together.
