PJ’s Coffee is kicking off its July 4th celebrations with a new Firecracker Lemonade that will keep you cool and refreshed this holiday weekend.
Available exclusively from June 29 through July 5, the new Firecracker Lemonade is a patriotic drink option from PJ's. The new drink combines blue raspberry lemonade with shimmering red glitter to create an eye-catching red, white, and blue-hued beverage. And since it's America’s 250th birthday, PJ's is serving up a new 16-ounce Firecracker Lemonade for just $2.50. As Reid Nolte, Executive Vice President of Marketing for PJ’s Coffee, explains, the limited-time lemonade and the brand's new craft sodas are "a great example of how we’re continuing to innovate our menu with unexpected flavors and fun experiences while staying focused on what our guests love most."
