Want to explore the best ones?
This guide breaks down the best White Chocolate Mocha drinks, how to customize them, and which ones are worth trying next!
Classic White Chocolate Mocha Drinks
1. White Chocolate Mocha
This is the original.
Rich espresso, creamy 2% milk, and white chocolate mocha sauce come together for a smooth, indulgent drink.
Topped with sweetened whipped cream, it’s a favorite for those who love a sweet, dessert-like coffee.
Unlike a regular mocha, this drink isn’t made with dark chocolate.
Instead, the white chocolate sauce gives it a flavor closer to sweetened condensed milk.
Order it as “White Mocha” if you’re in a hurry, and you can get it in Short, Tall, Grande, or Venti sizes.
2. Iced White Chocolate Mocha
Love the classic but want something cold?
The Iced White Mocha is exactly that—espresso, 2% milk, white chocolate mocha sauce, and whipped cream served over ice.
It’s smooth, sweet, and packs a caffeine kick.
Try it with blonde espresso for a milder coffee flavor.
A Grande typically comes with four pumps of white mocha sauce, but you can adjust it for more or less sweetness.
Available in Tall, Grande, and Venti sizes.
3. White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino
Take the Iced White Mocha, throw it in a blender, and you get the White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino.
It’s cold, thick, and creamy, blending espresso, whole milk, white chocolate mocha sauce, and coffee Frappuccino syrup.
Topped with whipped cream, this drink is perfect for hot days—or when you just want something that feels like a treat.
Starbucks calls it “the best thing that happens to you all day.”
Hard to argue with that!
4. White Chocolate Crème Frappuccino
This is the caffeine-free version of the White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino.
It swaps out espresso for extra sweetness, blending whole milk, white chocolate mocha sauce, and crème Frappuccino syrup with ice.
If you love white chocolate but don’t want the buzz, this is your drink.
But be warned—there’s still plenty of sugar to keep you going.
Maybe not for the whole day, but at least for the next hour.
5. White Hot Chocolate
This drink is a caffeine-free twist on the classic White Chocolate Mocha, perfect for anyone who wants a warm, creamy treat without the espresso.
Made with steamed 2% milk and white chocolate mocha sauce, it’s topped with whipped cream for extra sweetness.
Since there’s no coffee in this one, it’s great for kids or anyone avoiding caffeine.
If you prefer it a little cooler, you can ask for it at “kid’s temperature”, which keeps it warm but not too hot.
Seasonal & Limited Edition White Chocolate Mocha Drinks
6. Toasted White Chocolate Mocha (Seasonal)
This holiday favorite takes the classic White Chocolate Mocha and gives it a caramelized twist.
Made with espresso, 2% milk, and toasted white chocolate mocha sauce, it has a deeper, richer sweetness compared to the original.
The drink is topped with whipped cream, holiday sugar sparkles, and crispy white pearls, giving it a festive touch.
Available only during the holiday season, this one is a must-try before it disappears for the year.
Even the Grinch would be tempted.
7. Toasted White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino
If you love the Toasted White Chocolate Mocha but want it cold, this is the drink for you.
The Frappuccino version blends the same caramelized white chocolate flavors with ice and whole milk for a thick, creamy, frozen treat.
It’s like drinking a toasted marshmallow—only blended.
Thankfully, there’s no actual snow involved in the making of this one.
Starbucks learned its lesson after the yellow snow incident of ’04.
8. Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha
A holiday favorite, this drink takes the White Chocolate Mocha and adds a refreshing peppermint twist.
The result? A sweet, minty mocha that tastes just like peppermint bark candy.
This seasonal drink is even sweeter than the original thanks to the perfect balance of white chocolate and peppermint.
If you love classic holiday flavors, this one is a must-try before the season ends.
9. Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino
This is the holiday drink for cold coffee lovers.
It takes the flavors of a Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha and blends them into a Frappuccino.
While it offers the same creamy sweetness with a peppermint kick, it melts faster—so maybe don’t sip this one by the fire.
But hey, if you insist on drinking cold coffee in the middle of winter, this is your drink.

How to Customize Your White Chocolate Mocha at Starbucks
Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha drinks are already sweet, creamy, and indulgent.
But if you want to make it your own, there are plenty of ways to customize it.
Here’s how you can tweak your drink for the perfect sip.
1. Switch to Almond, Oat, or Coconut Milk for a Dairy-Free Option
If you’re avoiding dairy, Starbucks offers several milk alternatives.
You can swap out the standard 2% milk for almond, oat, or coconut milk to change both the texture and taste.
- Almond milk – A lighter, slightly nutty option.
- Oat milk – Creamy and rich, great for keeping the drink thick.
- Coconut milk – Adds a subtle tropical note, pairing well with white chocolate.
2. Add Extra Shots of Espresso for a Stronger Kick
The standard White Chocolate Mocha comes with a set number of espresso shots based on size.
If you need more caffeine, you can ask for an extra shot (or two).
- A grande typically has two shots, but you can bump it up to three for a bolder taste.
- If you like a smoother, less bitter espresso, try it with blonde espresso instead of the regular roast.
3. Top with Caramel Drizzle or Sweet Cream Cold Foam for Extra Richness
For those who love their drinks extra creamy and indulgent, toppings can take it to the next level.
- Caramel drizzle – Adds a buttery sweetness that blends well with white mocha sauce.
- Sweet cream cold foam – A thick, velvety topping that makes an iced White Mocha even more decadent.
If you’re ordering a Frappuccino, you can also add extra whipped cream or ask for caramel crunch topping for extra texture.
4. Mix in Flavors Like Raspberry, Toffee Nut, or Hazelnut for Unique Variations
Adding flavored syrups is one of the easiest ways to create a new version of your White Chocolate Mocha.
Some of the best options include:
- Raspberry syrup – Turns it into a sweet, fruity white chocolate drink.
- Toffee nut syrup – Adds a buttery, nutty depth to balance the sweetness.
- Hazelnut syrup – Gives it a Nutella-like flavor when mixed with white mocha.
Want to tone down the sweetness? Ask for fewer pumps of white mocha sauce or swap in a sugar-free syrup for a lighter twist.
Conclusion
Starbucks’ White Chocolate Mocha drinks offer something for everyone.
Try different flavors, toppings, and milk options to create your perfect version.
Want it stronger? Add an extra espresso shot.
Prefer it sweeter? Mix in caramel or toffee nut syrup.
