The New Orleans-based coffeehouse chain 'PJ's Coffee' has introduced four new refreshing beverages that capture the essence of the spring season. The new spring menu features two classic drinks with a twist: the Honey Crème Brûlée Latte and the Honey Crème Brûlée Velvet Ice. Both drinks are made with espresso, steamed milk, and honey crème brûlée sauce, topped with whipped cream and caramelized honey. The latte is served hot, while the velvet ice is a frozen blended drink that is perfect for cooling off.
The other two drinks are inspired by the flavors of the tropics: the Coconut Crème Nitro Cold Brew and the Coconut Crème Iced Latte. Both drinks are made with PJ’s original cold brew coffee, coconut milk, and coconut syrup, creating a creamy and smooth taste sensation. The nitro cold brew is infused with nitrogen gas, giving it a rich and velvety texture, while the iced latte is served over ice with whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes.
