This is why Butler has traded his Heat jersey for an apron (at least, temporarily) to work alongside the Salty's flavor innovation team to launch a brand new doughnut and a limited-edition coffee with his coffee brand, Bigface Coffee.
From April 12 through April 21, the Salty will be selling his churro croughnut and cinnamon-citrus cappuccino made in collaboration with the Heat star himself. The churro croughnut is made with a brioche dough tossed in cinnamon sugar, filled with a cinnamon mousse, and topped with a thin caramel glaze and housemade mini churros. The doughnut pairs well with the cappuccino made with Bigface espresso, fresh orange and cinnamon syrup, and any choice of milk.
The Butler croughnut and coffee will be offered at all 15 Salty locations, as well as at its pop-up locations. This means that Butler fans in Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas will also be able to get their hands on these Butler-approved creations.

Both brands are committed to making a difference in the community, so part of the proceeds will be donated to Project Backboard, a nonprofit organization founded in 2015 that renovates public basketball courts through art.
"As a Miami-born brand, we are stoked to partner with our home team's biggest star to bring these ridiculously delicious items to our guests in Miami and beyond while raising money for a great cause," says Andy Rodriguez, CEO and cofounder of the Salty. "When drawing up this collaboration, it was important to us and Jimmy that we made a long-lasting impact on the community and we can't think of a better organization to support than Project Backboard."

Since its launch, the company has teamed up with other big names for limited-time collaborations, including one with Daniel Patrick for Art Basel 2022 and another collaboration with Bacardi for a rum-based espresso cocktail, which was offered for a limited time around Butler's favorite bars in Miami.
His latest collaboration with the Salty might be his sweetest (and tastiest) one yet.
"We had a blast working with Jimmy to create this perfect pair of items, and we're excited for everyone to try them," adds Rodriguez. "They will blow your mind!"
When purchased separately, the churro croughnut costs $5.50, and the cinnamon citrus cappuccino costs $6. However, if you'd like to buy both, you can order the "Bigface Bundle" for $10. The treats are available through the Salty's app or in-store at all locations.
