It’s no surprise that the Starbucks Mocha Drinks are the most sought-after coffee chain drinks. Since its two primary components are chocolate and coffee, it’s not like we’re not awestruck. 

The drink, officially called the Caffe Mocha, was introduced in 1987, before the much-loved Frappuccinos. 

If you’re a fan of the Mocha, is your favorite Starbucks drink? Here’s a bit about it and a glimpse of what the different drinks on the menu taste like. We will also see what Mocha drinks you can find in the secret menu as wee.

What are the Starbucks Mocha Drinks?

Starbucks Mocha is a rich, full-bodied espresso with ginger-flavored mocha and steam milk. On top, it has sweetened whip cream. This drink certainly is a must-have in Aspen.

It’s also available iced, hot, or as a Frappuccino. No matter the temperature you want, they all start with the same base ingredients:

• Espresso
• Mocha syrup
• Milk
• Whipped Cream
• Flavored Syrup (optional)
• Toppings (optional)
• Ice (for iced mochas)

If you’d prefer not to use dairy, or go vegan, substitute the dairy with a non-dairy alternative like:

• Almond
• Coconut milk
• Oatmilk
• Soy 

Also, you can avoid whipping cream. Or, if you genuinely like whipped cream, you can always ask for Light Whipped Cream.

Mocha Drinks on the Starbucks Menu

One of the things that make Starbucks mochas so popular is the many delicious flavors.

You’re probably aware of Starbucks Peppermint Mocha. It’s a Christmas classic. It’s not difficult to imagine that mocha sauce, peppermints, coffee whipped cream, and peppermint toppings are truly a treat.

However, Starbucks offers a variety of different mocha flavors on its menu. Don’t be a slave to stick to the menu.

Mochas can be made in any flavor you like:

• Brown Sugar Syrup
• Caramel Syrup
• Cinnamon Dolce Syrup 
• Hazelnut Syrup
• Peppermint Syrup
• Raspberry Syrup
• Toasted Vanilla Syrup
• Toffee Nut Syrup
• Vanilla Syrup

How to Order a Starbucks Mocha?

Choose Hot or Cold

If you are ordering a Mocha at Starbucks, the first thing to decide is if you would like it hot or cold. No matter which you choose, you’ll have the same flavors. The only distinction is that the cold mocha contains ice, and the milk isn’t steamed.

Choose the Size of your Mocha

Be aware that the cup size will determine the number of espresso shots in the drink.

You can order hot Mochas in 4 sizes – Short, Tall, Grande, Venti.

However, Iced mochas are available in three sizes – Tall, Grande, Venti.

One thing to be aware of is that Icedventi mocha has one more espresso shot when compared to the hotventi mocha. This is because the iced venti drink is four ounces larger than the hot venti.

Here are how many shots of espresso Starbucks offers in each cup size to make mochas:

ESPRESSO SHOTS	HOT MOCHAS	ICED MOCHAS
SHORT CUP (8 fl oz)	1 shot	–
TALL CUP (12 fl oz)	1 shot	1 shot
GRANDE CUP (16 fl oz)	2 shots	2 shots
(hot) VENTI CUP (20 fl oz)	2 shots	–
(cold) VENTU CUP (24 fl oz)	–	3 shots

Choose a Mocha Sauce

In the case of Starbucks mocha drinks, don’t assume that mocha sauce made of dark chocolate is the only option.

The white chocolate alternatives are equally delicious and luxurious coffees, too.

Three standard mocha sauces are available at Starbucks:

• Mocha Sauce
• White Chocolate Mocha Sauce
• Dark Caramel Sauce (seasonal)

How many sauce pumps are in Cold Mochas?

COLD MOCHAS	TALL	GRANDE	VENTI
White Chocolate Mocha Sauce	3 pumps	4 pumps	6 pumps

How many sauce pumps are in Hot Mochas?

HOT MOCHAS	SHORT	TALL	GRANDE	VENTI
White Chocolate Mocha Sauce	2 pumps	3 pumps	4 pumps	5 pumps

Choose the Milk you desire

Starbucks’ most common milk to make hot and cold mochas is 2% dairy milk.

If you’re a Starbucks frequent customer, you’ll know that they offer a wide range of dairy options, which include plant-based milk like:

• Almond
• Coconut milk
• Oatmilk
• Soy 

Other options you can choose from are:

• Nonfat Milk
• Whole Milk
• Breve (half & half)
• Heavy Cream

Keep in mind that the milk type you select can alter the creaminess of your mocha.

Choose the Flavored Syrup

The basic Caffe Mocha does not contain any flavoring syrup.

However, a small amount of syrup transforms mochas into something special. That’s the reason why mochas with peppermint are very sought-after.

If you’re unaware, Starbucks has peppermint syrup all year round. So the peppermint Mocha isn’t just reserved for the holiday season. You can also create your replica of the Starbucks sweetener with peppermint to drink at home.

While peppermint mochas may be the only flavor available on the list, you can choose any syrup you like. 

How many syrup pumps are in Cold Mochas?

COLD MOCHAS	TALL	GRANDE	VENTI
SYRUP	3 pumps	4 pumps	6 pumps

How many syrup pumps are in Hot Mochas?

HOT MOCHAS	SHORT	TALL	GRANDE	VENTI
SYRUP	2 pumps	3 pumps	4 pumps	5 pumps

Do you want sprinkle on the top

Each mocha has a generous dollop of Starbucks sweet whipped cream on top.

The peppermint mochas do have an extra feature -chocolate curls.

Furthermore, the Toasted White Chocolate Mocha is accompanied by seasonal holiday sugar sprinkles.

But nothing stops the possibility of adding chocolate curly curls in any coffee that does not already include chocolate curls. 

Other toppings you can choose from are:

• Cinnamon Dolce Sprinkles (extra, light, or no)
• Cinnamon Powder (extra, light, or no)
• Caramel Drizzle (extra, light, or no)
• Mocha Drizzle (extra, light, or no)
• Chocolate Cream Cold Foam (extra, light, no, or substitute)
• Salted Caramel Cream Cold Foam (extra, light, no, or substitute)
• Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam (extra, light, no, or substitute)

If you a fan of the cold foam then you can try 10 of the best Starbucks Cold Foam Drinks.

There are More Ways to Customize your Starbucks Mocha Drink

The Starbucks menu includes its top and most well-known drinks on the menu. Sometimes it’s best not to mess with something good, such as adding six pumps of syrup in a recipe that calls for two pumps. Modifications like that can transform mochas or other drinks into sweet liquid.

But customizing is the norm at Starbucks, particularly if you want to change the flavor or satisfy dietary or nutritional requirements. The baristas are willing to assist or offer suggestions.

However, adding more add-ins, such as coffee or higher-priced milk, will alter the cost of your beverage.

So, how can you change your Mocha?

Add an Extra Shot of Espresso

If you want a more caffeinated drink but do not need the extra calories with the bigger cup sizes, just order an extra Espresso shot. It is that simple.

Make it skinny

Asking for skinny at Starbucks means there is:

• no sugar
• non-fat milk
• no whipping cream.

Since most Starbucks mocha sauces contain sugar, it’s impossible to have an edgy mocha. But, you can get it with non-fat milk and request it with no whipped cream. Also, you can ask for less mocha sauce to cut down on the sugar and the calories.

Order Decaf

It’s not the case that all Starbucks locations offer decaf espresso. However, If your favorite location does, you can ask for a decaf mocha.

Indeed, chocolate is also a source of caffeine. If you are looking for a caffeine-free mocha, you should also get a mocha with white chocolate sauce.

There are a lot of Caffeine-Free Starbucks Drinks if you want to decrease the caffeine intake.
