North Texans are looking for anything to cool them off this summer, so why not a cold milkshake?

In 1922, a Walgreens employee named Ivan “Pop” Coulson decided to add a few scoops of vanilla ice cream to the company’s standard malt beverage. The addition of the ice cream changed the game and is credited with being the first ever milkshake, according to Hankering for History.

Fort Worth has several restaurants that serve the cold and creamy dessert. Here’s the top five places to grab a milkshake, according to Yelp:
