Just when it seems like every flavor has been done before, PJ's coffee has debuted a whole new lineup of Southern Wedding Cake coffees.

Summer is the season for weddings—and wedding cakes for that matter—which is why it makes sense that [PJ's Coffee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mardi-gras-drinks) would unveil its new lineup of Southern Wedding Cake coffees in the summer. There are three drinks in the new lineup, including a Southern Wedding Cake Iced Latte, which is made from PJ's espresso, steamed whole milk, ice, and a combination of sweet almond and vanilla syrups. There is also the new Southern Wedding Cake Velvet Ice, which combines the flavors of almond and vanilla with cold brew, milk, ice, and whipped cream. But perhaps the most indulgent new drink is the Affogato, which takes Ghirardelli vanilla cream and tops it with rich espresso.
