Louisiana-based coffee shop chain PJ’s Coffee is helping consumers get in the Mardi Gras spirit with three festive new beverages: the King Cake Cold Brew Shaken Espresso, King Cake Latte, and the King Cake Velvet Ice.
Available from all PJ’s locations through the Mardi Gras season (until February 29th), all three of the new drinks are based around King Cake, which is the colorful cake that historically features a baby figurine hidden inside. The new King Cake Cold Brew Shaken Espresso delivers this cake flavor by combining Cinnamon and Vanilla Cold Brew Espresso, and topping it all off with layers of chilled cream. On the other hand, the new King Cake Latte pairs Espresso Dolce with frothed milk, cinnamon and vanilla flavors, and a smattering of purple sprinkles. Lastly, the new King Cake Velvet Ice combines sweetened Cinnamon & Vanilla Cold Brew Coffee with your milk of choice and ice.
