Lemon Shake-up from Windmill Grill
2335 W Sycamore St., Kokomo, IN 46901 | (765)452-1600

If you’re anything like us, this warm weather has our kids craving fair food. Lucky for us Kokomo has a few local spots where we can satisfy the cravings anytime. We used the drive through at Windmill Grill to grab a couple Lemon Shake-ups. We can’t help it, they just taste better than regular lemonade. Maybe it's because they’re shaken and not stirred? They also offer Lime Shake-ups for those of you who are true citrus lovers. You can dine-in, call or order online through the Windmill Grill Website.
