There are plenty of reasons to enjoy a good cocktail in Las Vegas. Supporting homeless animals might be one of our favorites.

At Stray Pirate Tropical Cocktails & Effects, guests can order the Swig & Berries, a tropical cocktail crafted with Hera the Dog Vodka, knowing that a portion of each purchase helps support the lifesaving work of Nevada SPCA.

It’s a simple concept: enjoy a drink, help animals, repeat as necessary.

A Cocktail With a Cause

The Swig & Berries isn’t tied to a one-day fundraiser or special event. Instead, it’s an ongoing way for guests to support local animal welfare while enjoying one of Las Vegas’ more unique cocktail experiences.

For every Swig & Berries sold, a portion of the proceeds benefits Nevada SPCA, helping fund the care of dogs and cats waiting for their forever homes.

It’s the kind of partnership we always enjoy seeing — something easy for visitors and locals to participate in without changing their plans. If you’re already heading out for a night with friends, why not let your cocktail help a shelter pet along the way?

About Stray Pirate Tropical Cocktails & Effects

Located in Las Vegas, Stray Pirate isn’t your typical cocktail bar.

The venue combines immersive tropical and pirate-inspired themes with creative drinks, theatrical effects, and an atmosphere designed to feel more like an adventure than a traditional night out. Between the décor, specialty cocktails, and playful presentation, it’s become a destination for guests looking for something a little different from the usual Vegas experience.

Now, thanks to its partnership with Nevada SPCA, one of those drinks comes with an added benefit for animals in need.

Supporting Nevada SPCA

Nevada SPCA has been helping homeless pets in Southern Nevada for decades through adoption services, community programs, education, and animal care.

Every year, the nonprofit works to connect dogs and cats with loving homes while providing medical care, enrichment, and daily support for animals awaiting adoption.

Like shelters and rescues everywhere, those efforts depend heavily on community support. While major fundraisers and donations often get the spotlight, smaller partnerships like this can also make a meaningful impact over time.

Drink Good. Do Good.

Not every act of giving requires attending a gala, running a 5K, or bidding in a silent auction.

Sometimes it looks like gathering with friends, ordering a tropical cocktail, and knowing a portion of your tab is helping a dog or cat get one step closer to a new home.

So if you find yourself at Stray Pirate and spot the Swig & Berries on the menu, you can feel a little extra justification for ordering it.

After all, you’re not just enjoying a cocktail.

You’re helping support homeless pets through Nevada SPCA.

And while you’re raising a glass for a good cause, remember to enjoy responsibly. If you’re drinking, make a plan for a safe ride home and never drink and drive. The dogs of Southern Nevada would undoubtedly approve of responsible decision-making.
