Drink the Pear Necessities for a Good Cause

Cocktailing never felt so good.

Ukiah Japanese Smokehouse, located on Fort Lauderdale’s downtown riverfront, is continuing its Giving2Sips program this July, an ongoing initiative in which proceeds from Ukiah’s signature cocktails give back to the community.  

For the month of July, $2 from every Pear Necessities cocktail sold will be donated directly to Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation, supporting vital pediatric care for families across South Florida.

Pear Necessities is a refreshing, bold cocktail made with Mijenta blanco tequila, Giffard lychee, prickly pear purée, chili-rub agave, and a mezcal rinse.

Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital offers a comprehensive scope of over 50 pediatric specialty programs and services in a child-friendly atmosphere. JDCH treats everything from minor illnesses and emergencies to some of the most complex medical conditions. Ranked by U.S. News and World Report as a top children’s hospital, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital combines advanced technology and the expertise of a diverse group of board-certified pediatric specialists. Through the years, the hospital has expanded its services and programs to help meet the growing needs of our community.
