See how easy it is to make the popular TikTok Starbucks Iced White Mocha with cold foam and extra caramel drizzle at home.
TikTok Starbucks Iced White Mocha
TikTok made this Starbucks Iced White Mocha with cold foam and extra caramel drizzle wildly popular. It’s a Starbucks secret menu item, which means it’s a customized drink, and it’s not on the official menu so you can’t order it by name.
Iced White Mocha is just a shortened way of saying Iced White Chocolate Mocha. This caffeinated drink is made with espresso, white chocolate sauce, milk, caramel sauce, and ice. The drink is topped off with a homemade cold foam.
Note from Jee
I use a Nespresso machine to make all my Starbucks copycat recipes since it’s so easy to make espresso. 1 espresso capsule is equal to 1 shot of espresso so you can make your drinks stronger or weaker than the Starbucks version.
This drink is on the sweeter side and it’s perfect for anyone that wants a caffeinated drink without a strong coffee taste.
Recipe Summary
- This copycat recipe recreates a customized Starbucks Iced White Mocha drink made famous on TikTok.
- Homemade cold foam for this drink is made in seconds using a French press.
- To make this drink, you’ll need an espresso machine or a Nespresso.

Ingredient Notes
- Espresso: Use Starbucks espresso to get the flavor similar to theirs.
- White chocolate sauce: This is the key ingredient that gives the drink its white chocolate mocha flavor. You can use sweetened condensed milk if you don’t have white chocolate sauce.
- Milk: Starbucks uses 2% milk, but you can use any milk you like.
- Half & half: This is used to make the cold foam.
- Vanilla syrup: Starbucks uses vanilla syrup to flavor their cold foams. You can use store-bought or homemade vanilla syrup.
- Caramel sauce: This lines the inside of the cup with caramel.
- Ice: Use filtered water to make ice since it’ll taste better than ice made with tap water.
For full ingredients and detailed instructions, please see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Combine half & half and vanilla syrup in a French press. Place lid and move the plunger up and down to make cold foam. Set aside.
Step 2: Put white chocolate sauce, espresso, and milk into a cocktail shaker. Shake.
Step 3: Use a spoon to line the inside walls of the cup with caramel.
Step 4: Add ice. Pour drink from the cocktail shaker into the cup. Top with cold foam.
Using a Nespresso
Starbucks copycat drinks are easily made at home using a Nespresso machine. To make this TikTok drink, you’ll need 2 Nespresso espresso capsules or 1 double espresso capsule. Note that 1 shot of espresso = 1 Nespresso espresso capsule.
You can use any Nespresso capsule you like, but go for the Starbucks Nespresso capsules if you want it to taste as close to Starbucks as possible.
Even though this drink is made with espresso roast at Starbucks, try it with the Starbucks Nespresso Blonde Espresso capsules instead since they taste better and are more popular than the regular espresso capsules.
Making Cold Foam
Cold foam can be made with a French press, electric milk frother with a cold setting, or a handheld milk frother but having tested all 3, the French press and electric milk frother creates better cold foam.
Expert Tips
- Make homemade vanilla syrup ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. It’s so easy to make with just 3 ingredients and takes 5 minutes.
- If you don’t have a way to make espresso, use instant coffee. Combine 1 tablespoon of instant coffee and ¼ cup hot water to replace the 2 shots of espresso in the recipe.
- The cold foam is made using vanilla syrup, but if you don’t have any, sweeten the half & half with 2 teaspoons of sugar.
