The restaurant’s drink menu also includes South Dakota wines, bourbons, gin, vodka, and whiskey, as well as their signature cocktail menu. Signature cocktail highlights include a variety of mules, the Blood Orange Tajin Margarita ( The Mule Marg ), and more. One of Sperl's favorites is their Bloody Mary with the mix made in-house by her stepfather, Terry. “It has become a drink people take photos of and talk about because it’s so delicious,” she said. As a second generation business, Sperl says both her work family and immediate family mean everything to her and keep her hustling. “My personal inspiration is that I have three daughters. It’s empowering to run this business on my own—along with my team—as a hard-working woman with big goals,” she said. “Hard work pays off, and I want my daughters to see that you can dream big, and with the right leadership and work ethic it can all happen.” FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT THESMOKING MULE.COM+
“As far as drinks go, we are very proud to always have a majority of South Dakota beers on tap and share about each brewery and direct people to visit one if they are going a certain direction on the interstate during their travels.” Erica Sperl
