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.

Our copycat white chocolate mocha is topped with whipped cream. For an extra tasty drink, consider making your own! Our vegan whipped cream is thick, creamy, and heavenly. It's made with coconut milk and has a soft vanilla flavor.
