JD and Denise welcome back Tyler, our Memphis mixologist, who is just back from a tour of bourbon distilleries in Kentucky. He's got a cocktail with a bourbon base, infused with pipe tobacco, kissed with a special pistachio simple syrup, regular and red vermouths - the whole thing makes you want to sit in a nail headed leather chair by the fire and make offers that no one can refuse.

As Pride Month rolls on, JD and Denise have their mixologist, Tyler, back and he's brought on a moonshine from North Carolina, called Saint Luna, from the Saint Luna Spirits and Distilling company, a gay-owned and operated business. This charcoal filtered moonshine has so much complexity and style that Tyler used one of the recipes right from the Saint Luna website.  To watch this on our YouTube Channel, click this link.

Matt is the man who launch Gaywired and Shewired way back when and now he's running Pink Media, the LGBTQ digital marketing company that among other things, behind Twitter's gay empire of "I Love Gay ___" accounts. That's right, you name it, there's an ILOVEGAY account to follow out there and Matt explains how that kicks off a network of connectivity that turns into a lovely, large and ever-growing queer community for that particular topic, place or thing.
