Tips & Tricks for Copycat Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha
Use Starbucks coffee.
You can use any coffee to prepare this tasty beverage, but I recommend using Starbucks brand coffee for the most consistent flavor. The company has its own delicious espresso variety, which can be found here—Starbucks Espresso Roast. The beans are very fresh, and Starbucks sources everything ethically and sustainably.
Make your own whipped cream.

Copycat Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha FAQs
What syrup does Starbucks use for their white chocolate mocha?
Starbucks uses this Fontana White Chocolate Mocha Syrup for their white chocolate mochas. We typically use Ghirardelli White Chocolate syrup instead. The Ghirardelli syrup is made with cocoa butter and tastes fantastic in a white chocolate mocha (and it's easier to find)! Another widely available option that tastes great is Torani White Chocolate Flavoring Syrup.
What does it mean to order a Starbucks drink "upside-down"?
Ordering a Starbucks drink upside-down basically means that the barista will make the drink backward. It has become increasingly popular with certain beverages like caramel macchiatos.
