Ep 49 - Matt Sinagoga

In this special episode of Shit My Dad Taught Me, we’re joined by mixologist and entrepreneur Matt Sinagoga for a conversation about cocktails, fatherhood, business, and the unexpected lessons life throws at you.

Matt opens up about becoming a first-time dad just weeks before the recording, the emotional shift that comes with fatherhood, and how it changed the way he understands his own dad. He also shares how he built a successful mixology business during Covid—going from virtual cocktail classes in his basement to consulting for restaurants, creating content for major brands, and hosting cocktail experiences across the city.

The episode also features live cocktail making with Grant's, including a Grant’s & Cola and Matt’s “Triple Wood Special.”

A fun, honest, and surprisingly heartfelt episode about becoming the kind of man—and dad—you want your kids to remember.
